What does this PR do?
Same as #6267 but for v1.7
This PR changes the way to create the http client in the forward auth middleware.
Before this modification, the http client was created for each request. When it was done without configuring tls, it was not a big problem, because we reused the
http.DefaultTransport
but when tls was activated, thehttp.Transport
was created in each request, and that automatically creates a new connection to the forward auth server, and since we have not configured an expiration time on the idle connection on these transports, we have kept the connections open forever.Motivation
Fixes #6229
