Could you please help me? I want to trigger log files which are hosted at an http-Link.
Do you know if anybody already was working on http protocol extension?

I'm currently not aware of any implementation.
Is this file static or continuously changing?

[littlesnitch]

Yes, this file continuously changing, because of that I wanted to use LogExpert for that because of the filters etc.

I think the main problem here is the same that currently prohibits direct reading from zip files (#92): The requirement for a seekable stream.

I also have a need for this to read streaming logs on Azure Functions. Currently I'm using curl with basic authentication. Getting this into LogExpert would greatly help so that I can apply my custom color rules and pause the logs when necessary.
