logcli: live tail does not work with https proxies

[joemiller]

Describe the bug
Followup issue as requested from: #6484 (review)

Support for connecting through http and https forward/CONNECT-style proxies was added to logcli in #6484 with the --proxy-url flag. The current state is that both http:// and https:// proxies are supported for standard lookups. However when -t (follow/tail) is used only http:// proxies work as expected. If an https:// proxy is used the websocket proxy code in gorilla/websocket library will fail with:

Tailing logs failed: proxy: unknown scheme: https

There are a couple open issues and PR about adding https proxy support to gorilla/websocket. One in particular that I have tested as working as expected with logcli is gorilla/websocket#740

This can be swapped in by modifying go.mod:

replace github.com/gorilla/websocket v1.4.2 => github.com/philipatl/websocket v1.4.3-0.20211206152948-d16969baa130

It is not clear when upstream gorilla/websocket will finish the work to bring in support for https proxies. It's apparent they intend to support this since there is some existing code in place, but it's not complete nor working yet.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• use a build of logcli from this PR or later: logcli: add --proxy-url flag for http/https proxy support #6484
• You will need a connect-style proxy like envoy or squid setup in front of loki to fully test this
• Run a command such as:

logcli \
  --addr="https://loki-distributed-querier.loki.svc.cluster.local.:3100/" \
  --proxy-url "https://envoy.dom.tld/" \
  --cert tls.crt \
  --key tls.key \
  --ca-cert ca.crt \
  -f \
  query '{app="foo"}'

Expected behavior
Tailing of logs should work as expected as if no --proxy-url was specified.

• Infrastructure: Kubernetes

[stale]

Hi! This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had any
activity in the past 30 days.

We use a stalebot among other tools to help manage the state of issues in this project.
A stalebot can be very useful in closing issues in a number of cases; the most common
is closing issues or PRs where the original reporter has not responded.

Stalebots are also emotionless and cruel and can close issues which are still very relevant.

If this issue is important to you, please add a comment to keep it open. More importantly, please add a thumbs-up to the original issue entry.

We regularly sort for closed issues which have a stale label sorted by thumbs up.

We may also:

• Mark issues as revivable if we think it's a valid issue but isn't something we are likely
  to prioritize in the future (the issue will still remain closed).
• Add a keepalive label to silence the stalebot if the issue is very common/popular/important.

We are doing our best to respond, organize, and prioritize all issues but it can be a challenging task,
our sincere apologies if you find yourself at the mercy of the stalebot.
