HTTP Server input task properties are as follows:
l
HTTP action: Enter the name of the action requested of PlanetPress Workflow by the
client. This name corresponds to the URLthat the client will be accessing. For example, if
you enter "MakePDF" here, you could trigger the process by accessing
http://127.0.0.1:8080/MakePDF . This is also what your HTMLForm's action should be.
l
MIME Type: Select the MIME type of the file that will be returned by the plugin.
l
Loop each attachment as a data file: When receiving attachments through a
POSTrequest (HTMLForm), this option will make the HTTPServer Input task loop
through each attachment. Each data file is an XMLwith the accompanied file.
l Do not include XMLenvelope:Only active when the previous Loop option is
checked. When checked, the XMLfile containing the request data will not be
available. Only the attachment itself is sent as a data file.
l
Respond on error: Enter a message to be sent to the client as the output file if the
process encounters an error and is unable to send a reply that includes the actual output
file. The information can be in any desired format such as HTMLor plain text, but most
browsers will interpret it as plain text.
l
Send immediate response to client:Do not wait for the process to finish and send a
static HTMLor Text file back to the client instead. This prevents any timeout from
occurring. When checking this option, the field under the option is used to select which
file to return.
l Use custom HTTPserver response code:When the process ends and a response is
sent to the requesting client, a custom response code can be specified depending on how
the process goes. While in previous versions the "200 OK"code was always used, this
option overrides it to, for example, "404 Not Found"or "401 Unauthorized".
l Variable containing the response code:The contents of the job information or
local variable selected in this drop-down, presumed to be a valid response code,
will be returned in the response header. This is the value that is present at the end
of the process, not the beginning.
"Other" Tab

l Information elements:indicates what job infos are automatically created by the
input task.
