HTTP output "http_method" field is not interpolated.

[jmwilkinson]

Based on the general functionality of Logstash and the given documentation, it is expected the http_method field would be interpolated. However, attempting to do so results in an error like the following:

  output {
    http {
      # This setting must be a ["put", "post", "patch", "delete", "get", "head"]
      # Expected one of ["put", "post", "patch", "delete", "get", "head"], got ["%{[http][method]}"]
      http_method => "%{[http][method]}"
      ...
    }
  }

Can you assign this task to me?
It would be better if you could give me more guidance.

@jmwilkinson can you please move this issue under https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-http and provide more context for the use case (how http method can be dynamic, what shape of events are ingested from where)? That would give us more insights and help us to prioritize.
