This operator is deprecated. Use HTTPRequest operator instead.
This operator sends incoming tuples to the specified HTTP server as part of a POST request. A single tuple will be sent as a body of one HTTP POST request. Certain authentication modes are supported. Tuples are sent to the server one at a time in order of receipt. If the HTTP server cannot be accessed, the operation will be retried on the current thread and may temporarily block any additional tuples that arrive on the input port. By default, the data is sent in application/x-www-form-urlencoded UTF-8 encoded format.
Behavior in a consistent region
This operator cannot be placed at the start of a consistent region.
Required: url
Optional: acceptAllCertificates, authenticationFile, authenticationProperty, authenticationType, connectionTimeout, extraHeaders, headerContentType, include, keyStoreFile, keyStorePassword, maxRetries, retryDelay
By default, all attributes of the input stream are sent as POST data to the specified HTTP server.
Emits a tuple containing the reponse received from the server and assignments automatically forwarded from the input. Tuple structure must conform to the HTTPResponse type specified in this namespace. Additional attributes with corresponding input attributes will be forwarded before the POST request.
Required: url
Optional: acceptAllCertificates, authenticationFile, authenticationProperty, authenticationType, connectionTimeout, extraHeaders, headerContentType, include, keyStoreFile, keyStorePassword, maxRetries, retryDelay
Accept all SSL certificates, even those that are self-signed. Setting this option will allow potentially insecure connections. Default is false.
Path to the properties file containing authentication information. Authentication file is recommended to be stored in the application_dir/etc directory. Path of this file can be absolute or relative, if relative path is specified then it is relative to the application directory. See http_auth_basic.properties in the toolkits etc directory for a sample of basic authentication properties.
Properties to override those in the authentication file.
Valid options are "basic" and "none". Default is "none".
Optional parameter specifies amount of time (in seconds) that the operator waits for the connection for to be established. Default is 60.
Extra headers to send with request, format is "Header-Name: value".
Set the content type of the HTTP request. If the value is set to "application/json" then the entire tuple is sent in JSON format using SPL's standard tuple to JSON encoding, if the input schema is tuple<rstring jsonString> then jsonString is assumed to already be JSON and its value is sent as the content. Default is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". Note that if a value other than the above mentioned ones is specified, the input stream can only have a single attribute.
Specify attributes used to compose the POST. Comma separated list of attribute names that will be posted to the url. The parameter is invalid if HeaderContentType is not "application/json" or "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". Default is to send all attributes.
Path to .jks file used for server and client authentication
