Hi,  
I have logstash running on my webserver with the websocket output plugin. The plugin works great over http but my website uses https. How can I set up logstash to allow me to connect via "wss://"? As far as I can tell I there isn't a way for the logstash output websocket plugin to specify a certificate/key.

This is the error I get, only happens over wss and not ws.  
`WebSocket connection to 'wss://my-site:my-port/' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED`  
I need logstash to send logs over websocket, is there some other websocket plugin I should be using?

Thanks,  
Shane
