Research direction

Start by reading the implementation of use_ack, including check_interval and the per-event POST path, then inspect how http_keepalive is handled or missing. Done means chunked event POSTs, one acknowledgement request per chunk, and HTTP keepalive support that makes 10,000 events usable.

Description

enhancement

Hi there

Thank you for this plugin!

In the current implementation of use_ack is only usable for small amounts of events. use_ack blocks the process by it's check_interval and per event POST request.

This should be implemented as per chunk POST of data and also per chunk request of acknowledgement (one POST with list of events instead of one POST per event).

Finally http_keepalive should be implemented as well.

use_ack with 10000 events is not usable.

Thank you and kind regards
Sascha
