With the following configuration, I just want to forward logs from a file to an http endpoint with cookie being set, but I always got the error "Unknown setting 'cookie' for http {:level=\>:error}", looks like http output plugin doesn't support cookie setting? is there any work around?
```auto
input {
file {
path => "/home/ubuntu/test/input.log"
start_position => "beginning"
}
}
filter {
}
output {
http {
url => "http://test.com/logs"
http_method => "post"
mapping => ["Body", "%{message}"]
cookies => true
headers => [
'x-token', '8xxxda92b2xxx5a3f'
]
cookie => [
'auth-openid', 'xxx6j76xxx9mBvxxxl0yyyqsldfkjOaUhHg'
]
content_type => "application/json"
}
}
```

Cookies are implemented using HTTP headers so you should be able to use the `headers` option.
