Since 7.7, the httpjson input has issues with the `json_objects_array` option - if that option is set, filebeat faults with `ERROR	[httpjson]	httpjson/input.go:123	key not found`. I've prepared a docker-compose setup to make reproducing easy:

Consider this JSON response:

> **Summary**
>
> ```
> {
> "response": [
> {
> "name": "object1"
> },
> {
> "name": "object2"
> }
> ]
> }
> 
> ```

Setting `json_objects_array` to "response" should result in two events being produced. This works in 7.6 (you can confirm by changing the 7.7.0 in my docker-compose.yml to 7.6.0). In 7.7.0, filebeat errors out instead.  
It might be related to the new pagination feature. I've tried disabling it with `pagination.enabled: false`, but that doesn't help.

Hi,

yes, there is something wrong, we opened a bug issue here:
