Build event from URL query parameters of http request

[bfdyanshe]

I found the http server supports GET method, so I want to send an event through the URL query parameter. However, the logs indicate that the event count for this request is 0.

Then I checked the source code, the query parameters was unused when build events:

Is this a bug? What is the point of supporting the GET method but not supporting event building from request parameters?

Hi @bfdyanshe, this is an implementation of https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/blob/master/src/sources/util/http/prelude.rs#L52-L58. Components may implement it differently. Can you share your configuration and describe a bit more what you want to achieve?

Hi @pront, I'm sorry for replying to your comment so late. My configuration is a http_server sources, and I want to send event by GET, the event data store in URL query parameters. I tried configuring the http_server to receive the GET method and then send a GET request, but I found that I couldn't construct an event. So I checked the source, found http_server component must need a body to build event.

The http_server is indeed not using the headers or the query parameters. There is also an feature request here to support response body customization which IIUC is what you are asking for here.
