With http output plugin, I am not able to set
ssl =\> true
ssl\_certificate\_verification =\> false
We are getting configuration error when we add the above configurations in http output
Pls let us know how to enable ssl and set certificate verification to false.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Those are not [documented](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-http.html), so I am not sure why you would expect to be able to set them. The elasticsearch output supports them, the http output does not. Given the minimal work required to extract the CA cert from the destination I see no reason to use them.
