Table Of Contents

The request can contain one or more files, one being an XML file containing the request information as

well as any GET, POST, PUT or DELETE variables that were received within this request. Other files

are POST or PUT attachments.

The NodeJS Server Input task supports basic content-types: multipart/form-data, application/x-www-

urlencoded, and application/octet-stream, as well as raw body content-types:

text/plain (.txt)

application/xml, text/xml (.xml)

text/html (.html)

application/xhtml+xml (.xhtml)

text/css (.css)

text/csv (.csv)

application/json (.json)

application/javascript (.js)

Note that the maximum number of multipart form data fields is 1000 by default.

Processing

Depending on the options chosen in the NodeJS Server Input task properties, the task may choose to

ignore some of the files. For example, using the "Do not include XML envelope" means that only the

POST attachments will be used in the process; the XML file will be discarded. Attachments are always

saved on disk in a specific location, which is accessible either directly in the XML or directly as a data

file through the "Loop each attachment as data file" option.

How arrays in input data are interpreted

When the names of Form inputs in an incoming POST request contain two pairs of square brackets: [..]

[..], the data are interpreted as an array. The value between the first pair of square brackets is expected

to consist of two parts, separated by an underscore (e.g. row_0). The first part is considered to be the

element's name. All content after the first underscore (preferably an integer) will be used as index,

which is given as an attribute of the element (e.g. <row _idx=0>). This makes it easy to select all ele-

ments on the same level in a data mapping configuration, and to convert the XML to a JSON object.

For an example see "Incoming HTML" on page661 and "Resulting XML structure with Enhanced PHP-

like arrays" on page661.

Output

First, the output inside the process itself is, depending on the selected options, an XML request file,

POST Attachments files, either one or both.
