As a side note, it's on my list to make this a runtime option instead
of a compile time one, or at least enabled by default.  Having http
available is no less secure than not, and requires the user to opt
into the protocol, and has no defaults, so whether they make that
decision at compile time or runtime doesn't really change much IMO.

There's a lot of work going on around Redfish Event service.  I'd
probably start by going to gerrit and checking out the current patch
series for EventService, and see if that works for you, if it does,
great, please comment that on the code reviews, if not, maybe point
that out there.

Just looking at it, with very little experience on this kind of thing,
your Destination is almost certainly incorrect.  You've mixed an HTTP
path with a filesystem path.

As part of EventService, it would've been really great if we
documented a test setup for this.  If anyone is interested in writing
up a "how to event service" doc, it would be greatly appreciated.
