Hi there, as stated at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/input-http.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/input-http.html) mustache templates are supported for different http input attributes like e.g. request.params. It would be great to support it for request.url as well. I am having a use case at the moment, where I receive a full URL and parsing it is kind of messy. Thanks Andreas ---

Hey, you could try to URI encode the parts of the URL, that should be templatable, something like ```auto http://www.test.de/%7B%7Bfoo%7D%7D ``` --Alex ---
