example for changing logging level by public function, called with HT…

…TP GET handler in gin-gonic

I hope this time the account name is ok...

It could be refactored in a way, so that log and trace level could be changed by a public rlog function instead of changing the config file. But that would require changes to the rlog code.

Hello! I'm just going through some older PRs, trying to merge them into rlog. I would like to include your example, but do you think it's possible to have a main() function in there, so that it can be started like the other example with something like go run examples/setLogLevelsViaGetRequest.go , or similar?

i am pretty new to this. hope i got it right.

This is better. However, considering that this gives you a chance to change the log level with a GET request, it would be great if the main function could show that: Run/install the handler function, and at the same time - in an endless loop - provide an ongoing "once a second" output of a few lines with a certain log or trace level. Then the user could issue a 'wget' or 'curl' request to the URL and see how the ongoing output changes. The main function should print a starting message explaining the URL and the parameters.

That would be a neat demo.

you are right, that would be are very nice demo indeed. I'll look into it later and see if i can adapt it to the net/http package instead of gin-gonic.
