Log4Net Http Appender

Provides async logging to an http endpoint, log entries are queued and posted in a separate thread at the set batch max value, to prevent overly chunky requests.

Thread sleeps after processing for 200ms then rechecks the queue.

context = HttpContext.Current when context for error log level

Logging event sent in batched collection to service url, the project key and environment values will be headers (X-ProjectKey, X-Environment)

{
	session_id: String,
	user: loggingEvent.Identity,
	logger: loggingEvent.LoggerName,
	level: loggingEvent.Level.Name.ToLower(),
	message: loggingEvent.RenderedMessage,
	stack_trace: loggingEvent.ExceptionObject.StackTrace,
	time_stamp: loggingEvent.TimeStamp.ToUniversalTime().ToString("u"),
	http: {

Program.cs

class Program
{
private static readonly ILog Log = LogManager.GetLogger(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);
static void Main(string[] args)
{
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
Log.Info("Info Testing");
Log.Error("Error Testing");
Log.Warn("Warning Testing");
Console.Read();

I am getting the following error:
