Description

From Anup on the mailing list:

Hi,
I have a REST service that needs to be invoked with a few input
parameters like filename and appName. I was able to call this REST service
from NiFi through 'InvokeHTTP' processor by sending the parameters as part
of the URL:
"http://<ip>:<port>/app/context?filename=<filename>&appName=<appName>

Now I need to use POST to do the same and send the parameters in the body
part. How do I achieve this?

METHOD: POST
URL: http://<ip>:<port>/app/context

Where do i send the parameters filename and appName?

Regards,
anup

I tried doing that with the below entries.. but its failing.

Regular ExpressionInfo = (.*)
Replacement ValueInfo = appName=myApp&filename=${path}${filename}
Character SetInfo = UTF-8
Maximum Buffer SizeInfo = 1 MB
Evaluation ModeInfo = Entire text

How would these be treated as form parameters?
