[rsyslog] [PATCH] TLS connection check + syslog TAG parsing

[Jonathan Bond-Caron]

Hi all, 

 

Attached is a patch for 3 things:

 

a)      Check that TCP connection is still alive when using TLS

 

b)      Improve TAG parsing so that it ends when it sees a tab or escape
control character.

 

c)       Added configuration directive:  escapecontrolcharactertab

In rsyslog.conf, you can set:

$escapeControlCharactersOnReceive on

$escapeControlCharacterTab off

 

This avoids having a tab being escaped since it is after a viewable
character J

I'd prefer this being the default behavior but I've left
$escapeControlCharacterTab on as default in case people expect tabs to be
escaped.

 

This is my first GIT patch, hope it works well ;)
