The path of the invoked route and query string is not included. Please note these values may be different from what we are observing at HTTP/TCP level, because reverse proxies like nginx are rewriting them.
requestedProtocol	`readonly`	string	Get the protocol used by the client to make the request. Please note this protocol may be different from what we are observing at HTTP/TCP level, because reverse proxies like nginx or sidecars like Envoy are switching between protocols.
