Input Parameters

HTTP URL Information

See HTTP URL Information for descriptions of input parameters.

HTTP Post Information

HTTP Post Information specifies the body of the HTTP request.

Is Chunked?

Specifies whether to send the HTTP request chunked.

When chunk coding is set, the HTTP request does not contain the "content-length" header.

Note: HTTP 1.0 does not support chunk coding. The HTTP Post operator fails with an 'HTTP client protocol error' if chunk coding is set and the HTTP version is 1.0.

Values

One of the following:

  • True - Indicates to send the HTTP request chunked.
  • False - Indicates that the HTTP request is not to be sent chunked.
  • Any other value - Same as False.
Default

Blank - Same as False.

Content Type

Specifies the type of the content that composes the HTTP request body, which is set as a header (content-type) in the HTTP request.

Values

This value is one of the following:

  • A media type selected from the drop-down list.
  • Blank, where the content is retrieved from a file specified in ‘Content File Path.’

    CA Process Automation sets the value to application/octet-stream. The HTTP server is responsible for interpreting this generic content-type.

  • Blank, where content is retrieved from the ‘Content’ field.

    CA Process Automation does not set the content-type. The HTTP server is responsible for interpreting the no content-type header.

  • A valid media type that you type into the field.

    For valid media types, see the IANA website pages on assignments/media-types.

Note: Make sure to set the right content-type, especially when the content is not retrieved from a file.

Content Character Encoding

Specifies the character encoding of the content of the HTTP request body. Set this field only if the content type is all characters, for example: ‘text/XXX’.

Values

This value is one of the following:

  • A character set selected from the drop-down list.
  • A valid character set (encoding) that you type into the field.

    For valid encodings, see the IANA website pages on assignments/character-sets.

Note: Make sure to set the right character encoding, especially when the content is not retrieved from a file.

Retrieve Content From File?

Specifies whether to retrieve the HTTP request body from a local file on the host where the touchpoint is running.

Values

This value is one of the following:

  • Selected - Indicates to retrieve the HTTP request body from a local file on the host where the touchpoint is running.
  • Cleared - Indicates to retrieve the HTTP request body from the Content field.
