Hi all,

we use the Http input plugin to process events via http request in Logstash. The Logstash version is 7.16.2.

With the http request we get a special http header, e.g.

`x-test-header: test-value`

We now want to reuse the value from this header in a reponse header. How can we access the value of the header?

```auto
input {
    http {
        ...
        response_headers => {
        "x-test-header" => "test-value"
        }
        ...
    }
}

```

Is it possible to access the value in the plugin configuration?

Best regards,  
Daniel
