HTTP request is a default Switch app that for each incoming job executes an HTTP or HTTPS request. Thus the incoming job is a request trigger and it can be used to define the request specification: URL, authentication data, request parameters, file to upload, etc. The protocol type (HTTP or HTTPS) is automatically detected from the URL: if the URL starts with “https://”, HTTPS is used, otherwise HTTP is used.
The server responds to the request by sending something back: an HTML source, JSON or XML data, or a file that is downloaded. The tool provides properties to manipulate this server response. The server response is always saved as a file and the tool can inject this file into the flow as a new job, attach it as metadata dataset to the incoming job or assemble it into a job folder together with the incoming job.
