I wanted to know how this would work with an http input. It is very simple to configure. On the logstash side I just have

```
input { http { host => "127.4.31.9" port => 4000 } }
output { stdout { codec => rubydebug } }

```

and I can send a directory full of files to it using

```
for F in /etc/logstash/t.httpInput/data/*.xml ; do
  echo Processing $F
  curl -H 'content-type: application/xml' -XPUT 'http://127.4.31.9:4000/' -d "@$F"
  echo ''
done

```

I though I was going to have to configure a multiline code, but no, each PUT results in a single event.
