Hi,

I downloaded latest logstash 2.3.4 and deployed on Windows machine with the following output configuration

http {  
url =\> "[https://127.0.0.1:443/collectionstats](https://127.0.0.1:443/collectionstats)"  
http\_method =\> "post"  
headers =\> ['Authorization', 'test']  
}

Following is the error observed

message=\>"PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target",

:url=\>"[https://127.0.0.1:443/collectionstats](https://127.0.0.1:443/collectionstats)",  
:headers=\>{"Authorization"=\>"test", "Content-Type"=\>"application/json"}, :class=\>"Manticore::ClientProtocolException", :backtrace=\>nil, :level=\>:error}

Please let me know the issue the above configuration.

I tried this google search:  
`java windows localhost sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested `

http\_method =\> "post"
