Listeners: http

The HTTP Listener

The HTTP listener node is used to implement http / SOAP oriented flows. It starts an HTTP server listening for incoming HTTP messages on the specified IP, Port, URL etc.

The code block below documents the format for the REST Listener node.

"listener": {
	"type":"http_listener", 
	"isMessageGenerator": true,
	"host": "127.0.0.1",
	"port":9090,
	"url":"/hello",
	"allow_origin": "*",
	"timeout": 120000
}

Most of the properties are self explanatory. The allow_origin property allows for CORS controls. Timeout is the http timeout for the server.

The property isMessageGenerator must be set to true for this node.

The HTTP listener listens for POST messages only currently.

The injected message is not parsed to JSON by this listener, unlike the REST listener which does do so.
