To solve the integral \(\int \sqrt{\frac{\sin(x) - 1}{\sin(x) + 1}} \, dx\), let's proceed step by step.

### Step 1: Simplify the integrand
Let \( I = \int \sqrt{\frac{\sin(x) - 1}{\sin(x) + 1}} \, dx \).

One approach is to use trigonometric identities or substitutions to simplify the expression. However, due to the complexity of the integrand, let's try to simplify it directly:

### Step 2: Substitute \(\sin(x)\) with a simpler expression
Let \( t = \tan\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) \). Then, using the Weierstrass substitution, we have:

\[
\sin(x) = \frac{2t}{1 + t^2}, \quad dx = \frac{2 \, dt}{1 + t^2}
\]

Substituting this into the integral:

\[
I = \int \sqrt{\frac{\frac{2t}{1+t^2} - 1}{\frac{2t}{1+t^2} + 1}} \cdot \frac{2 \, dt}{1 + t^2}
\]

### Step 3: Simplify the expression under the square root
Now, simplify the fraction inside the square root:

\[
\frac{\frac{2t}{1+t^2} - 1}{\frac{2t}{1+t^2} + 1} = \frac{\frac{2t - (1+t^2)}{1+t^2}}{\frac{2t + (1+t^2)}{1+t^2}} = \frac{2t - 1 - t^2}{2t + 1 + t^2}
\]

\[
= \frac{-(t^2 - 2t + 1)}{t^2 + 2t + 1} = \frac{-(t - 1)^2}{(t + 1)^2}
\]

Therefore, the integral becomes:

\[
I = \int \sqrt{\frac{-(t - 1)^2}{(t + 1)^2}} \cdot \frac{2 \, dt}{1 + t^2}
\]

Since \(\sqrt{\frac{-(t - 1)^2}{(t + 1)^2}} = i \cdot \frac{t - 1}{t + 1}\), the integral now involves an imaginary part. This indicates that the integral will have a complex result:

\[
I = \int i \cdot \frac{t - 1}{t + 1} \cdot \frac{2 \, dt}{1 + t^2}
\]

This integral involves complex analysis, and the presence of \(i\) (the imaginary unit) suggests that the result might be a complex function. Evaluating this would typically involve further steps in complex integration, which might not yield a simple elementary function.

### Conclusion
The integral \(\int \sqrt{\frac{\sin(x) - 1}{\sin(x) + 1}} \, dx\) does not simplify to an elementary function. Instead, its solution involves complex functions.
