I have an application that sends events to a url (post), for it to start sending data it requires a password and expects a 'validator' token returned to it from the url's endpoint. how do I handle the validator bit?

application sends a one time HTTP GET; the server must return the organization-specific validator string as a response, which will verify my apps authenticity, **receives validator token** , does the password validation and immediately starts sending json events. Im using the http input but cant figure out the 'send validation bit.

input {  
http {  
id =\> "Applics1"  
host =\> "0.0.0.0"  
port =\> 9200  
tags =\> ["MyApplics"]  
my\_password =\> "applics123"  
}  
}

output {  
stdout {}  
}

Is it your port is opened (9200) ?

Yes ports open...my query is more around whether the http input plugin responds back to the requestor, and if it does can that message be customised?
