Hi There

I would just like some pointers regarding using the http poller plugin  
Logstash 5 & 6 tested with same issue

We have an application with a REST API, when you open up the URL it pops up with an authentication where you input username & Password, after which the API provides a response Cookie called a "secureModifyToken" which it uses for the session authentication going forward.  
It brings back 3 Cookies, JSESSIONID,LWSSOCookie and the secureModifyToken Cookie.

In the output it only shows the first cookie and not the other 2

The output keeps on erroring out saying it needs http authentication  
JBWEB000121: This request requires HTTP authentication

Username and password has been set as well

Just wondering if anyone has some ideas

Thanks
