Adjustable maximum messages per block for Generic HTTP subscribers

We have a requirement to send z/OS messages (OPERLOG) to a security operations centre (SOC).  The Generic HTTP subscriber of IBM z Common Data Provider sends the data, but an arbitrary number of messages are batched together.  Our requirement is to send invidvidual messages separately.

Providing a flag to avoid batching completely would suit us.

Providing a maximum number of messages parameter (0 = existing behaviour; 1 to n limits each block to n messages) would also suit us.  We would set the maximum to 1.  Others may want to limit the message block size for other reasons so this would be a more flexible option than just a flag.

I know there will be a performance penalty if the messages are not batched.
