Hi,
I am using logstash 7.13.4 and I want to use http poller for this url
```auto
http://10.10.10.10:8080/dbonequerydata/?username=user/password=password/encrypted=false/conversion=true/DT=csv -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -H "Accept: text/csv" -d @/etc/filebeat/test.xml
```
and my configuration looks like this
```auto
input {
http_poller {
urls => {
netscout => {
url => 'http://10.10.10.10:8080/dbonequerydata/?username=user/password=password/encrypted=false/conversion=true/DT=csv -d @/etc/filebeat/test.xml '
headers => {
"Content-Type" => "application/xml"
Accept => "text/csv"
}
}
}
schedule => { cron => "40 * * * * UTC"}
}
}
```
when I start the logstash it comes with error **INVALID URL**
I think its because the url paramater in logstash doesn't support this part \*\* -d @/etc/filebeat/test.xml \*\*. But I don't know how to put it elsewhere in logstash input.
Any idea about this?
Thank you

If you want to send a body with the request you can use
```
urls => {
netscout => {
url => 'http://10.10.10.10:8080/dbonequerydata/?username=user/password=password/encrypted=false/conversion=true/DT=csv'
body => ' ... '
headers => {
```
You cannot use a reference to a file, you have to put the body in the logstash configuration.
Also, if you are sending a body with the request you should likely be using `method => "post"`.

Hi,
I already update my configuration using body and method post and it solved error **INVALID URL**
```auto
input {
http_poller {
urls => {
netscout => {
method => post
url => 'http://10.10.10.10:8080/dbonequerydata/?username=readonly/password=P@ssw0rd/encrypted=false/conversion=true/DT=csv'
headers => {
"Content-Type" => "application/xml"
Accept => "text/csv"
}
body => '-d @/etc/filebeat/test.xml'
}
}
schedule => { cron => "* * * * * UTC"}
}
}
```
But it looks like the schedule is not running at all. From logstash logs no error reported.

Enable log.level debug and the [input](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-http_poller/blob/cc8dc526f928a3d9a1f7e992ca0674fe50cafc1f/lib/logstash/inputs/http_poller.rb#L188) will log a message every time it issues a request.
Also `body => '-d @/etc/filebeat/test.xml'` will send that literal text with the request, not the contents of the file.
