HTTP connector scenarios

Responding with processed data via an HTTP Response connector

The HTTP(S) connector enables the StreamServer to act as an HTTP server that receives and processes input from an HTTP client. You can configure the StreamServer to automatically return processed output to the client. In most cases you will use an HTTP Response output connector to handle the response.

1	A client sends input to the StreamServer via an HTTP input connector.

2	The StreamServer processes the data.

3	The processed data is sent back to the client via the HTTP Response and HTTP connectors.

Configuring the HTTP Response connector

On the HTTP Response connector, you must specify which driver to use, and corresponding content-type (RFC 2045) for the response. You can do this in the Platform or in the Runtime configuration.
