Feature request: HTTP listeners

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

One of the things I'd like to be able to do, is to query one node about
the other http enabled nodes in the cluster (in the same was as you can
find out which nodes are data nodes)

In other words, one of my clients starts up, queries the 'main' node
about which listeners are available, then randomly selects one of those
nodes.

The idea is to spread the load between the nodes, and also, if a node
goes down, then my client already has a list of other nodes that it can
try connecting to.

Or am I approaching this in the wrong way?

You are perfectly correct about it, and I need to add it to the nodes info
API. Can you open a feature request for this?
