Hi ,

This is in connection with one of the issues [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-send-data-to-a-http-end-point-using-ls-output-plugin/58959)

I have a typical scenario where i am not able to find this thing working.  
I could see the message at the other end (tested with localhost running : nc -l -k port) but i dont get a file created at the location given under header attribute as "Filename"

Here is my output header part for reference.

```
url => "https://IP?FQDN"
http_method => "post"
content_type => "application/octet-stream"
format => "form"
headers => [
"User-Agent" => "Model/ewdsaasa/Hardware/R1D Serial/123455 Application/1.1.21.3/66:77:88:99:00:A4"
"Connection" => "close"
"Authorization" => "Basic Y3VjdWx1czpjdWN1bHVz"
"Filename" => "123455_valuereport_%{device-identification}_3111.csv"
 "Product-Name" => " "
"Host" => "IPorFQDN"
"Accept" => "text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2"
"Content-Length" => "597"
]
```

have you tried curly brackets around your headers? i've seen it that way in a few examples:  
headers =\> {  
"User-Agent" =\> "Model/ewdsaasa/Hardware/R1D Serial/123455 Application/1.1.21.3/66:77:88:99:00:A4"  
"Connection" =\> "close"  
"Authorization" =\> "Basic Y3VjdWx1czpjdWN1bHVz"  
"Filename" =\> "123455\_valuereport\_%{device-identification}\_3111.csv"  
"Product-Name" =\> " "  
"Host" =\> "IPorFQDN"  
"Accept" =\> "text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, \*; q=.2, _/_; q=.2"  
"Content-Length" =\> "597"  
}

Any help on this?  
Is there any simpler way to simply push a CSV using logstash HTTP Output?
