HTTP Header
Use the HTTP properties tab to define a HTTP header for a HTTP collector or HTTP exporter.
This property tab is not available from the repository. It opens from:
- the HTTP Collector properties
- the HTTP Exporter properties.
For information about the properties toolbar, and about the sections Parent Details, Analysis Models, Description and Audit Summary, see Common Properties. For a full list of all the PhixFlow property tabs and windows, see Property Tabs.
Basic Settings
Field | Description |
---|---|
Name | Enter the name of the HTTP header Item. You must not include a colon after the name. For example: Content-Type |
Value | Enter the value of the HTTP header Item. For example: text/xml; charset=UTF-8 You can also refer to a specific attribute on a lookup pipe that connects to a HTTP collector or HTTP exporter. Include the string
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: text/xml; charset={in.lang} |
