Stream Values in a HTTP Collector
To drive the lookups made by a HTTP Collector from a stream, the two must be connected using a lookup pipe. For example - If a URL for a server is captured, or calculated, on a stream in an attribute called "ServerURL" and passed to the HTTP Collector to be used in its URL Expression, the pipe connecting the two must be a lookup pipe. If the pipe is called "in", here is how the URL Expression would be written on the HTTP Collector: {substring(in.ServerUrl,9)}
