Description

For logging and debugging purposes it's nice to be able to pre-fix logs with a request Id. Instead of having every component implement generating a request id, it would be nice if Spin could provide one as a header in the http request send to the component.

I don't know if other trigger types could make use of the same information, or if it already exists in the runtime!?!

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the HTTP trigger request path and checking whether the runtime already creates request IDs; determine how headers reach the component and whether other trigger types share this path. Done means an HTTP-triggered component receives a usable request ID header, with coverage for the resulting behavior.
