Hi,

The url I'm trying to access looks like this: `192.168.1.1/web.cgi?netLoggedInUser=1`. However the response I get is `loggedin: "false"`.

I think this is because the login page is not on the first page but on a separate page and after logging in the query changes so simply putting the username/password in the logstash config doesn't work.

I have no problems with the username/password option on a web page that first prompts for login credentials so its probably a combination of the website being kinda awkward and the plugin not expecting that kind of behavior.

Is there any way to work around this?
