Task properties
General Tab
l
URL: Enter the URL of the HTTP server from which the file must be downloaded. Since
this is a variable property box, variables may be used, as well as the Get Data and Select
Data commands (see "Variable task properties" on page303). Note that when
PlanetPress Workflow connects to a secure page, an SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
connection is automatically used.
Note
The connection to remote HTTPS is done through TLS v1 encryption. Prior to
version 2019.2, this was done through SSL v2.3.
Secure connections (SSL) made with the HTTP Input Client are known to
experience issues when connecting to site bindings using the Server Name
Indication (SNI). Disabling SNI through the server's site bindings configuration will
allow proper SSL connection through the HTTP Input Client.
l

authentication. This enables the following options.
l
User name: A user name known to the Web server.
l
Password: The password associated with the user name entered above.
