Code Block

From PhixFlow 8.0.1 onwards, if you have a look-up pipe connected to the you can also refer to a specific attribute on a lookup pipe that connects to a HTTP collector or HTTP exporter. Include the string {pipe_name.attribute_name}, you can refer to values on that pipe within the value block of the HTTP Header with references such as:   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 on in the source HTTP. To read the character set from the pipe "in", specify:

Code Block
text/xml; charset={in.param4lang}
