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.
Processing
No processing is done by this task. The file retrieved is not changed in any way.
Output
HTTP Client Input will output a single file which was retrieved from the web. Metadata is not
generated by this task.
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340). Note that when PReS
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 v. 2.3.
