On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on Task Properties Dialog.
If storing the message or ID, if they are store in a jobinfo they will be available in any error handling process where errors are
being forwarded. In all cases, if your process continues after the error, the contents of the variables selected in this window
will be available for the rest of your process, or whenever they are overwritten.
Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks because they are
related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some examples would be W3813, W3830, W3991, W4005. These cor-

comments)that lets you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with the
OKbutton, and are displayed in The Task Comments Pane.
HTTP Server Input
HTTP Server input tasks are used to receive HTTP requests made via GET or POST commands and to send replies to the
servers from which the requests were made. The HTTP server supports both http and https. For HTTPSSupport information,
see HTTP Server Input User Options.
While you can insert the HTTPServer Input Task anywhere in your process as a secondary input task, in reality the
HTTPServer Input Task will only function when used as the initial input, as it is triggered when the PlanetPress Suite
Workflow Tools HTTPServer receives a request and passes it on to the correct task.
Input
The HTTPServer Input task does not, by itself, capture any files. Neither does it directly wait for requests to be received. Actu-
ally, it is the HTTPservice that receives the requests and places them in a specific location on the drive. When a request is
