Description

This proposal introduces support for specifying custom HTTP headers in HTTPS syslog drains for Cloud Foundry's Loggregator system. It enables native, secure integration with third-party logging systems that require authentication via bearer tokens or custom headers, such as Splunk HEC, Datadog, and similar modern log routing solutions.

Could you please provide a link to the current syslog drain binding specification for reference? Additionally, I think we should mention that it should be extended in a backwards compatible way.
