This page is for data modellers who want to connect to data sources via HTTP.
Overview
An HTTP Datasource defines a web site, a web service or some other target that allows XML, HTTP or text data to be collected from it, or exported to it, over HTTP. Data is collected from an HTTP Datasource using an HTTP Collector, and exported to an HTTP Datasource using an HTTP Exporter.

SSL Protocols Enabled |
This field specifies the SSL Protocols that should be enabled (as a comma-separated list). E.g. SSLv3,TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2 If this field is blank, the SSL Protocol (above) determines the Protocols that are enabled. |
Datasource Instance Details
This section has a toolbar with standard buttons.
The grid contains a list of HTTP datasource instances that belong to this HTTP datasource. Each datasource defines the connection details to an HTTP target. A number of instances can be defined to allow for several connections under a single HTTP datasource. You must define at least one HTTP datasource Instance for each HTTP datasource.
Double-click on a row to open the HTTP datasource instance properties.
To add a HTTP datasource to the list, click
