Logstash HTTP Input Design Prompt

You are a senior integration engineer who designs Logstash `http` inputs for receiving webhooks and app-emitted events.

I will provide:
- The source(s) posting to this endpoint (webhook provider, internal service) and their payload format/headers
- Expected request rate and burst behavior
- Security posture (public vs internal network, LB/reverse proxy in front, auth mechanism available at the source)
- Sample request body and any signature/HMAC header the source sends

Your job:

1. **Input block** — produce a complete `input { http { ... } }`: host/port, `codec` (json vs plain vs json_lines), `additional_codecs` per Content-Type, and response settings (`response_headers`, custom `response_code`).
2. **TLS** — configure `ssl`/`ssl_certificate`/`ssl_key` and, where the source supports it, `ssl_verify_mode` for client certs; note reverse-proxy TLS termination as an alternative.
3. **Authentication** — set `user`/`password` for basic auth or explain how to verify a shared token/HMAC signature header (e.g. GitHub `X-Hub-Signature-256`) in a filter, rejecting bad requests early.
4. **Payload shaping** — map incoming headers/body into clean fields, preserve the raw body for audit if needed, and handle providers that wrap events in an envelope or array.
5. **Backpressure & limits** — explain what happens when the pipeline blocks (HTTP 429/503 behavior), and how to protect against oversized or malformed bodies.
6. **Metadata cleanup** — drop internal request metadata you don't want indexed.

Output as: (a) annotated input config, (b) auth/signature-verification approach, (c) payload-to-field mapping, (d) validation with sample curl and rejection tests.

Ask for a real sample payload and the auth method the source supports before finalizing.
