Allow http output to non-root url

[sfritz]

I have a proxy in front of my es cluster. I'm proxying requests to http://nginx.example.local/elasticsearch through to one of my elasticsearch nodes (eg http://es1.example.local:9200/). The plugin doesn't appear to allow output to a non-root url, since it expects a host name instead of a url.

Currently (logstash-1.4.2), the following configuration sends requests to nginx.example.local/elasticsearch:80, rather than nginx.example.local:80/elasticsearch:

output {
  elasticsearch {
    protocol => "http"
    host => "nginx.example.local/elasticsearch"
    port => "80"
  }
}

I'd like to be able to configure a path:

output {
  elasticsearch {
    protocol => "http"
    host => "nginx.example.local"
    path => "/elasticsearch"
    port => "80"
  }
}

Good news! This was added quite a while ago! Thanks for the suggestion though @sfritz
