Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
The HTTP client uses the request URL as part of span names (GET http://service/api/v1/user/12345/books)
This results into duplicate span names which only differ in the variable parts (in above example the :userID)
The tracing system and it's UI/UX will be affected by an ever growing number of span names.
Is this a bug? Please provide steps to reproduce, a failing test etc.
Use the Patron HTTP Client to call an API endpoint using variables in the URL path and have tracing enabled.
Describe the solution
Dropping the request path from the span names.
A PR will be opened to implement the describe solution.
