HTTP Task

Properties   Config Settings  

The HTTP component provides a flexible HTTP client to send and receive data to web servers.

Remarks

The HTTP task implements a highly configurable HTTP client that is capable of sending and receiving data to and from web servers. Support includes issuing simple GET requests as well as defining custom form and file parameters to be POSTed to server. URL defines the location to which the request is made.

The task supports HTTP 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 which can be configured in the HTTPVersion property.

The HTTPMethod property defines the HTTP method to use. Possible values are:

• DELETE
• GET (default)
• HEAD
• POST
• PUT
• TRACE

Getting Data From the Server

In both the Send Task and the Receive Task if HTTPMethod is set to GET the request is issued to the server specified by URL. Additional custom headers may be specified in the request by setting OtherHeaders.

The response received by the task will be saved to LocalFile if specified. Otherwise it will populate the variables specified by TransferredHeaders and TransferredData

Sending Data To the Server

When HTTPMethod is set to POST or PUT data will be sent to the server. The RequestParams property specifies one or more parameters to add to the POST or PUT request. This property is only applicable when the HTTPMethod property is set to POST or PUT.

To specify additional parameters set this property to one or more name value pairs. Set one pair on each line. For instance: name1=value1 name2=value2

The task will format a request with parameters slightly differently depending on whether the request is made by the Send or Receive adapter.

Note: To have complete control over the data being sent set PostData instead.

Send Task

When sending a POST or PUT request the AttachedFile will always be used as the last parameter regardless of the values specified in RequestParams. Several examples and additional details follow.

Basic Example:

Setting the RequestParams to a value of: name1=value1 name2=value2

Will result in a HTTP request like this: POST / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.nsoftware.com Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate User-Agent: IPWorks HTTP Component - www.nsoftware.com Connection: close Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary="boundaryV+iTxA==" Content-Length: 335 --boundaryV+iTxA== Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name1" Content-Type: text/plain value1 --boundaryV+iTxA== Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name2" Content-Type: text/plain value2 --boundaryV+iTxA==--

Notice that the default "Content-Type" for the individual request parameters is "text/plain" See the following examples for further details.

Custom Request Parameter Content-Type Values:

When sending requests the RequestParams may optionally include a custom Content-Type value. The syntax is:

[ContentType]name=value

For instance setting RequestParams to a value of: [text/html]name1=value1 [my/type]name2=value2 name3=value3 Will result in a HTTP request like: POST / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.nsoftware.com Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate User-Agent: IPWorks HTTP Component - www.nsoftware.com Connection: close Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary="boundaryQDNEUw==" Content-Length: 439 --boundaryQDNEUw== Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name1" Content-Type: text/html value1 --boundaryQDNEUw== Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name2" Content-Type: my/type value2 --boundaryQDNEUw== Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name3" Content-Type: text/plain value3 --boundaryQDNEUw==--

Note the updated Content-Type header values for the "name1" and "name2" parameters.

Custom Content-Type and Name Values for the AttachedFile Variable:

The default Content-Type value for the AttachedFile form variable is "application/octet-stream". This can be explicitly defined in the ContentType property. For instance setting:

• ContentType to "text/html"
• AttachedFile to "C:\myfile.txt

And leaving RequestParams unspecified (no parameters) will result in a HTTP request like:

POST / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.nsoftware.com Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate User-Agent: IPWorks HTTP Component - www.nsoftware.com Connection: close Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary="boundaryVAJHkA==" Content-Length: 142 --boundaryVAJHkA== Content-Disposition: form-data; name="myfile.txt" Content-Type: text/html file contents --boundaryVAJHkA==--

Receive Task

In the receive adapter the RequestParams are used to form the body of the POST or PUT request using the more lightweight encoding "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". For instance, setting the request parameters to: name1=value1 name2=value2

Will result in a HTTP request like:

POST / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.nsoftware.com Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate User-Agent: IPWorks HTTP Component - www.nsoftware.com Connection: close Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 25 name1=value1&name2=value2

To maintain complete control over the POST body PostData may be set instead. Additional Settings

In addition to the basic operation as discussed above the task supports a variety of other settings that control authentication, proxy settings, and other behavior. Some of additional features include:

• Authentication (NTLM, Kerberos, Digest, Basic) via the AuthScheme, User, and Password properties.
• Full Proxy/Firewall support using the HTTPProxy and Firewall properties.
• CustomRequestMethod provides support for custom HTTP methods.
• Specify redirect behavior with FollowRedirects.
• Add cookies to the request via Cookies.
• Configurable UserAgent.
• And many more!

AttachedFile Property (HTTP Task)

A file to include in the POST data.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property optionally specifies a file that will be sent as request parameter. This is only applicable when HTTPMethod is set to POST or PUT.

When set ContentType may be set to specify the Content-Type header for this parameter.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

Authorization Property (HTTP Task)

The Authorization string to be sent to the server.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

If the Authorization property contains a non-empty string, an Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys Authorization information to the server.

A common use for this property is to specify OAuth authorization string.

This property is provided so that the HTTP task can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the task.

The AuthScheme property defines the authentication scheme used. In the case of HTTP Basic Authentication (default), every time User and Password are set, they are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the Authorization property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".

AuthScheme Property (HTTP Task)

The authorization scheme to be used when server authorization is to be performed.

Data Type

Enumeration

Possible Values

Basic (0)
Digest (1)
Proprietary (2)
None (3)
Ntlm (4)
Negotiate (5)
OAuth (6)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property specifies the type of authentication to perform. Possible values are:

• Basic
• Digest
• Proprietary
• None
• NTLM
• Negotiate
• OAuth

In most cases this setting is only applicable if User and Password is set.

This property is also applicable without setting User and Password if the AuthScheme is set to NTLM or Negotiate. In that case the current user credentials will be used.

AuthScheme should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is to be performed (or do not set HTTPUser and HTTPPassword).

By default, AuthScheme is authBasic (0), and if the HTTPUser and HTTPPassword properties are set, the task will attempt basic authentication. If AuthScheme is set to authDigest (1) or authNtlm (4), digest or NTLM authentication will be attempted instead.

If AuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2) then the authorization token must be supplied through the HTTPAuthorization configuration. Note that, if you set the HTTPAuthorization config, the AuthScheme will be set automatically to authProprietary (2) by the control.

If AuthScheme is set to authOAuth (6) then the authorization string must be supplied through Authorization property.

ContentType Property (HTTP Task)

Defines the Content-Type header in the request.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property optionally defines the Content-Type header sent in the request.

This is applicable to both the Send and Receive Task when PostData is set and defines the Content-Type header (not a form variable level Content-Type).

Cookies Property (HTTP Task)

The cookies to be sent in the HTTP request.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the cookies (if any) to be sent in the HTTP request. Specify one name/value pair per line. For instance setting this property to: CookieName1=CookieValue1 CookieName2=CookieValue2

Will result in the HTTP header:

Cookie: CookieName1=CookieValue1; CookieName2=CookieValue2

Firewall Property (HTTP Task)

A set of properties related to firewall access.

Data Type

Firewall

Remarks

This is a Firewall type property which contains fields describing the firewall through which the task will attempt to connect.

FollowRedirects Property (HTTP Task)

Determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.

Data Type

Enumeration

Possible Values

Never (0)
Always (1)
Same Scheme (2)

Default Value

0

Remarks

Normally, the task returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If FollowRedirects is set to frAlways (1) the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.

If FollowRedirects is set to frSameScheme (2), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URL scheme is the same, otherwise the task generate a runtime error.

Furthermore, if either the new URL server and port are different than the existing one, HTTPUser and HTTPPassword are also reset to empty, unless FollowRedirects is set to frAlways (1), in which case the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.

The default value is frNever (0). In this case, redirects are never followed, and a runtime error is generated instead.

HTTPMethod Property (HTTP Task)

The HTTP method used for the request.

Data Type

Enumeration

Possible Values

DELETE (0)
GET (1)
HEAD (2)
POST (3)
PUT (4)
TRACE (5)

When set to POST or PUT see RequestParams and PostData for details about sending data to the server.

To specify a different HTTP method set CustomRequestMethod.

HTTPProxy Property (HTTP Task)

A set of properties related to proxy access.

Data Type

Proxy

Remarks

This is a Proxy type property which contains fields describing the proxy through which the task will attempt to connect.

HTTPVersion Property (HTTP Task)

The HTTP version to use.

Data Type

String

Default Value

"1.1"

Remarks

This property specifies the HTTP version used by the task. Possible values are:

• "1.0"
• "1.1" (default)
• "2.0"

When using HTTP/2 ("2.0") additional details apply. Please see notes below for details.

HTTP/2 Notes

When using HTTP/2 only secure (TLS/SSL) connections are currently supported. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/2 will result in an error.

If the server does not support HTTP/2 the task will automatically use HTTP/1.1 instead. This is done in order to provide compatibility without the need for any additional settings. The AllowHTTPFallback setting controls whether this behavior is allowed (default) or disallowed.

HTTP/2 is supported on all versions of Windows. If the Windows version is prior to Windows 8.1/Windows Server 2012 R2 the internal security implementation will be used. If the Windows version is Window 8.1/Windows Server 2012 R2 or later the system security libraries will be used by default.

LocalFile Property (HTTP Task)

The path to a local file for download.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property optionally specifies the path to a file which will hold the response body.

If specified Overwrite controls whether the file is overwritten when it already exists.

Defines a set of configuration settings to be used by the component.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

The task accepts one or more configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the task, access to these internal properties is provided through the Other property.

The Other property may be set to one or more configuration settings (name/value pairs). Set one setting per line. For example: configname1=value1 configname2=value2

OtherHeaders Property (HTTP Task)

If HTTP Digest Authentication is used to, the User and Password properties are used to respond to the HTTP Digest Authentication challenge from the server.

PostData Property (HTTP Task)

The data to be posted to the server.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property optionally specifies the raw data to be posted to the server.

If set, this property defines the entire HTTP body to be sent to the server. This is only applicable when the HTTPMethod is set to POST or PUT.

ContentType may be set to define a Content-Type header. No Content-Type header is set by default when PostData is set.

If specified both RequestParams and ContentFileName properties are ignored.

RequestParams Property (HTTP Task)

Parameters to add to the POST or PUT request.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

The RequestParams property specifies one or more parameters to add to the POST or PUT request. This property is only applicable when the HTTPMethod property is set to POST or PUT.

To specify additional parameters set this property to one or more name value pairs. Set one pair on each line. For instance: name1=value1 name2=value2

This property is not available in the Sender.

RuntimeLicense Property (HTTP Task)

Specifies the component runtime license key.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

You can use the RuntimeLicense property to set the runtime key for the task license.

SSLAcceptServerCert Property (HTTP Task)

Instructs the component to unconditionally accept the server certificate that matches the supplied certificate.

Data Type

Certificate

Remarks

If it finds any issues with the certificate presented by the server, the task will normally terminate the connection with an error. You may override this behavior by supplying a value for SSLAcceptServerCert. If the certificate supplied in SSLAcceptServerCert is the same as the certificate presented by the server, then the server certificate is accepted unconditionally, and the connection will continue normally.

This property is used to set a Public Key Certificate.

Ordinarily, the system will attempt to locate the public key in trusted certificate stores in the system registry. If a match is found, the certificate is trusted, and the process proceeds without error. If the certificate is not trusted, the task will report an error.

You may explicitly set a public key, either to accept a key that is not installed on the system, or to ensure that a specific key is presented. Public key certificates may be loaded from the machine registry or from file. If you click on the ellipses, a certificate selection dialog will open. To select a public key from the system registry, select the System Store tab or the User Store tab, and highlight the appropriate registry store. The list of available certificates will be shown below.

Alternatively, you may specify a public key on file. Select the PEM or Certificate File tabs to load a public key from file. You can use the browse button to examine the file system for the certificate that you wish to use. Public keys typically are stored in .CER, .DER, or .PEM files, but other formats may be used. You can click on the Open button to examine the contents of the certificate. Or, if you have a certificate stored in memory, you can write the contents of the certificate into the text box provided. Note that if you are loading a certificate from memory, the certificate must be Base-64 encoded, or the string representation of the certificate may become corrupted and uninterpretable.

Regardless of how you selected the certificate, once you hit the OK button, the task will attempt to verify that certificate selection. If successful, the subject of the certificate will be displayed in the property field. If the task was not able to verify the selection, a dialog box will appear instead detailing the verification error.

Note: You may also set SSLAcceptServerCertAcceptAny to True without opening the certificate selection dialog to force the task to unilaterally authenticate any server during the security handshake. It is strongly recommended that you use this only for testing purposes.

SSLAcceptServerCertAcceptAny Property (HTTP Task)

Tells the component to accept any server certificate.

Data Type

Boolean

Default Value

false

Remarks

When set to true, the task will unilaterally authenticate any server during the security handshake. It is strongly recommended that you use this only for testing purposes.

SSLCert Property (HTTP Task)

The certificate to use for client authentication during the SSL handshake.

Data Type

Certificate

Remarks

This property is used to assign a specific certificate for SSL client authentication.

This field is used to set a Private Key Certificate.

Private key certificates may be loaded from the registry, from files in PKCS#12 format, or from a PEM file format. If you click on the ellipses, a certificate selection dialog will open. To select a private key from the system registry, select the System Store tab or the User Store tab, and highlight the appropriate registry store. The list of certificates which have private keys will be shown below.

To select a private key certificate from a file in PKCS#12 format, select the PFX Store tab. The browse button can be used to examine the file system for PKCS#12 (.pfx or .p12) certificates. If you wish to examine the certificate, provide the password in the field provided and click on the Open button to examine the file store for certificates present. To load a certificate from PEM files, select the PEM tab. Like the PFX file selection, you can specify the password and click the Open button to examine the certificates in the PEM store, or you may paste any PEM data stored in memory.

Regardless of how you selected the certificate, once you hit the OK button, the task will attempt to verify that certificate selection. If successful, the subject of the certificate will be displayed in the property field. If the task was not able to verify the selection, a dialog box will appear instead detailing the verification error.

StatusLine Property (HTTP Task)

The first line of the last server response.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property holds the first line of the server response. This indicates the status of the request. For instance: HTTP/1.1 200 OK

This property is read-only.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

Timeout Property (HTTP Task)

A timeout for the component.

Data Type

Integer

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion, or an error condition is encountered.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the task will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the task fails with an error.

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when data is successfully sent or received.

Optionally, the behavior of the task may be changed to absolute timeouts, i.e. the task will wait for a maximum of Timeout seconds since the beginning of the operation, without extending the timeout period during communications.

This behavior is controlled by the AbsoluteTimeout configuration setting.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 (seconds).

TransferredData Property (HTTP Task)
