What issue are you seeing?

Regarding OpenTelemetry export, I observed plain HTTP traffic being sent to my gRPC OpenTelemetry endpoint (using Wireshark), even though my endpoint url explicitly mentions https.

This is related to https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust/issues/3182.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Set up a gRPC HTTPS endpoint in config.toml https://developers.openai.com/codex/security/#enable-otel-optin
  2. Run the Codex CLI
  3. Observe unecrypted outgoing traffic in Wireshark

What is the expected behavior?
