Hello,

I'm using the HTTP output module to send data to an API .

The data in the input file are stored in a JSON array like :

[{"a":"data"}, {"b":"data"}]

but the output is JSON lines like :

{"a":"data"}  
{"b":"data"}

I would like to have the same json array in ouptut!

Is it even possible?

The plugin is configured this way :

```
http {
        url => "https://some-api.com/path/v1.0/some-endpoint"
        http_method => "post"
        content_type => "application/json"
        headers => ["Accept","text/html","Authorization","fsdflsfdsfoisdXcsdfdfSDFd==dfs","X-ABC-APPID","a6112346542132bfrt5e7685dsqdqs541sqd"]
        format => "json"
        }

```

Thx
