Is there a way to generate a header with ISO-8601 time when using http\_poller input plugin?  
e.g:  
input {  
http\_poller {  
urls =\> {  
notification =\> {  
method =\> get  
url =\> "[http://host](http://host):port/api"  
headers =\> {  
"Content-Type" =\> "application/json"  
"X-AuthKey" =\> "xxxxxxxxxxxxx"  
"X-Date" =\> "????????????"  
}  
type =\> "notification\_event"  
}  
}  
socket\_timeout =\> 30  
request\_timeout =\> 30  
codec =\> "plain"  
schedule =\> { "every" =\> "1m" }  
}  
}

where I need to generate current date in ISO8601 format for "X-Date" header everytime the http\_poller sends a request.  
Any input would be very helpful.

Thanks
