Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a text area (Task comments)that lets
you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with
the OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
HTTP Client Input
HTTP Client Input tasks use the HTTP protocol to issue HTTP GET commands (queries) to
HTTP servers. Replies received from the HTTP servers are used as jobfiles and are thus
passed on to following tasks.
Input
This initial input task retrieves a single file as specified in the URL option. This file may be of
any format, even formats that are not readable by PReS Workflow.
