NodeJS Server Input
NodeJS Server Input tasks are used to receive HTTP requests and to send replies to the servers from
which the requests were made.
Essentially this task does the same as the HTTP Server Input task, but it uses a NodeJS Server (ver-
sion 12.13.1, installed by Workflow) instead of Workflow's custom server component. The NodeJS
Server is more secure, more up to date and more standardized.
For instance:
l
PUT and DELETE actions can be posted to the server.
l
The NodeJS Server can serve multiple static resources at once.
l
Port numbers > 9999 are allowed.
