As per Logstash reference docs 8.15 and http input \* Plugin version: v3.8.1 only http basic authentication is supported.  
Please add support for OAuth2 Bearer tokens, otherwise http input plugin is little/no use with any OAuth protected http resources, which are in high majority in 2024.  
It would be beneficial to leverage Logstash Secrets Keystore to store credentials in a secure way and perform OAuth2 without leaving pipeline code.  
There is one post that mentions Ruby workaround [How to generate OAUTH2 token and use REST API to pull logs from Cloud?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-generate-oauth2-token-and-use-rest-api-to-pull-logs-from-cloud/166624) but please update the docs and share official documentation as OAuth2 is standard authentication for http.  
Thanks
