feat: Add openai-like provider
Closes #1198
This could technically be accomplished already by overriding OPENAI_URL. The intent is to just make this easier for people to setup when configuring their provider via the cli.
Additionally I added a crude attempt to prevent folks from accidentally sending their credentials on the internet over non-https.
I've just been playing around with the codebase, feel free to not accept / edit as needed!
Can you help explain where openai URL could be overridden in the desktop app?
Can you help explain where openai URL could be overridden in the desktop app?
I just meant overriding the env config OPENAI_URL, there isn't from what I can tell a way to do that from the desktop app nor the cli.
Thanks for the contribution! Can you explain more on "prevent folks from accidentally sending their credentials on the internet over non-https"? Thanks
Sure, if folks are manually entering their configuration there's a common failure mode where folks might forget the s in https
If they enter, say, http://someopenailikeservice.com/ the client will send a POST unencrypted (http is just plaintext.) This is bad when you have a the api key in the authorization header, since that's plaintext and supposed to be secret.
However, folks have a common use case as well to use non-https, which is when they're running something like bedrock-access-gateway locally and they're posting only to http://localhost.
This PR attempts to discern between the two to prevent folks from leaking their API keys accidentally.
