Basic Settings

FieldDescription
Name

Enter the name of the HTTP header Item. You must not include a colon after the name. For example:

Code Block
Content-Type


Value

Enter the value of the HTTP header Item. For example: text/xml; charset=UTF-8

You can embed expressions within a statement by enclosing the expression in ${…}; see Embedded Expressions. For example, to refer to a specific attribute on a lookup pipe that connects to a HTTP collector or HTTP exporter, include:

${pipe_name.attribute_name}

where:

  • pipe_name is the name of the pipe
  • attribute_name is the name of the attribute.

This is useful if the value you need changes. For example, a character set is defined in the attribute "lang". The actual character set varies depending on the language used in the source HTTP. To read the character set from the pipe "in", specify:

Code Block
text/xml; charset=${in.lang}
