Description

Use case : the flow file contains 1 big data (ex : PDF or pictures), but you want to lookup metadata with InvokeHTTP using a POST (or PUT). POST is often used in http API for "search" with lot of params or list of params.

Other exemple is the 3-steps batch-upload of products like Nuxeo or Salesforce Bulk API : you need to "open" a batch with a POTS invokeHTTP.

 

Proposition : In the InvokeHTTP, add a "Get Request Body From Attribute" (like Put Response Body In Attribute). If this field not empty, the chosen attribute will be read as the request, insted of the flow file.
