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 plugin preferences 1" on page792.
Instead of using the HTTP Server Input task, you should consider using the NodeJS Server
Input task which is more secure, more up-to-date and more standardized. For more information
see: "NodeJS Server Input" on page352.
Note
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 PlanetPress Workflow HTTP Server receives a
request and passes it on to the correct task.
