HTTP Action Server Tab

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This tab of the HTTP action specifies server and login settings.

 

HTTP server: The server name (i.e., www.kinook.com) or IP address (required).

 

Port: The port to connect on (optional, default is 80 for unsecured or 443 for secured connections).

 

Timeout: How long (in seconds) to wait for a connection or response before timing out (required).  Enter 0 to wait indefinitely.

 

Username: The username to login as (optional).

 

Password: User's password (optional).

 

HTTP version: The HTTP version to use when sending requests to the server (required, defaults to 1.1).

 

Encoding: Specifies the type of encoding to be applied to the content of a HTTP request.

None: No encoding will be applied to the content of a request, and no Content-Type header will be generated.
URL: URL encoding will be applied to the content of a request, and a Content-Type header will be generated with the value "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
XML: URL encoding will be applied to the content of a request, EXCEPT that spaces will not be replaced by +. This encoding type is intended for use with XML parsers that do not recognize + as a space. A Content-Type header will be generated with the value "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".

 

Priority: Specifies the priority for file transfers:

 

Default/Normal

Balances resource utilization and transfer speed.

Background

Significantly reduces the memory, processor and network resource utilization for the transfer. It is typically used with worker threads running in the background when the amount of time required perform the transfer is not critical.

Low

Lowers the overall resource utilization for the transfer and meters the bandwidth allocated for the transfer. This priority will increase the average amount of time required to complete a file transfer.

High

Increases the overall resource utilization for the transfer, allocating more memory for internal buffering. It can be used when it is important to transfer the file quickly, and there are no other threads currently performing file transfers at the time.

Critical

Can significantly increase processor, memory and network utilization while attempting to transfer the file as quickly as possible. No progress events will be logged during the transfer.

 

Proxy type: Configures the type of HTTP proxy server (if any) to connect to:

None: No proxy server.
CERN: The client is connecting to a CERN proxy server, and all resource requests will be specified using a complete URL. This proxy type should be used with standard connections.
Tunnel: The client is connecting through a standard, non-secure CERN proxy server to a secure server. A protocol must also be selected on the Security tab.
Windows Config: The configuration options for the current system should be used. These settings are defined through the Internet Options in the control panel and are the same proxy server settings used by Internet Explorer.

 

Proxy server: The proxy server name (i.e., kinook.com) or IP address (required).

 

Proxy port: The port to connect on (required).

 

Proxy username: The username to login as (optional).

 

Proxy password: User's password (optional).
