page784.
Task properties
General Tab
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. However, if
it must be displayed in a browser, the format should match the selected MIME type.
This is a variable property box. You can use any combination of text, variables and data
selections; see "Variable task properties" on page299.
Note
This option requires every plugin in the process to be explicitly set to "On Error:
Stop process" (see ), even if the process itself is set to "On Error: Stop process".
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
