Description
ListenHTTP depending on the MIME type, will unpack received content automatically. For example, if using InvokeHTTP with a flowfile packed in FlowFile Stream v3 format, with the mime.type attribute set to application/flowfile-v3.
When ListenHTTP receives the payload, it will interpret the MIME type and if it matches a well-known value (i.e. application/flowfile-v3), the content will automatically be unpacked by this processor.
While that's a handy feature, it is potentially confusing as this inline unpacking behaviour isn't documented, and a reasonable expectation is that one needs to UnpackContent separately in a subsequent processor.
Recommend adding some use case documentation to ListenHTTP, to avoid confusion.
