Hi All
Here is my output conf file, i am not able to post data to endpoint
```
output {
http {
url => "https://abcd.com/dataEventRequests"
http_method => "post"
content_type => "application/vnd.abcd.resourceitem+json"
headers => {
"Authorization" => "Basic SENNX0lNUEw6SnJvOTg0ODM="
"Host" => "abcd.com:443"
"Accept-Encoding" => "gzip,deflate"
"Content-Length" => "292"
}
format => "json"
message =>'{"sourceId":"ABCD_EFG","requestNumber":"1234","requestTimestamp":"2017-01-12T08:00:00.000-08:00"}'
}
}
```
My output is in JSON format, i checked in SOAP UI it is working well.
Here is the error that you get in log file
`[2017-01-13T17:51:54,686][ERROR][logstash.outputs.http] [HTTP Output Failure] Could not fetch URL {:url=>"https://abcd.com/dataEventRequests",..........................`
Again this working well for me in the SOAP UI using REST projects

its working for me now.
No issues
I gave header with "Cookie" and it worked.
Looks like http output plugin does not take care of cookie on its own
