HTTP Adapter Introduction

Use the HTTP Adapter to transfer data to and from an HTTP(S) Web server.

System requirements

The release notes detail the HTTP adapter's minimum system requirements and operating system requirements. For runtime purposes, you must have already installed a Command Server on the computer.

Additional requirements for the HTTP Adapter:

• TCP/IP must be installed on the machine where you install the HTTP Adapter.
• The machine where the HTTP Adapter is installed must be able to access the HTTP(S) server over a TCP/IP network.

Automatic HTTP event management

The HTTP Adapter allows the Launcher to directly process HTTP input events without compromising the integrity of the firewall.

Command Alias

You can specify adapter commands by using a command string on the command line or by creating a command file that contains adapter commands. The command syntax is:

-IA[alias]card_num
-OA[alias]card_num

In the command syntax, -IA is the Input Source Override execution command, and -OA is the Output Target Override execution command, alias is the adapter alias, and card_num is the number of the map card. The HTTP Adapter alias and corresponding execution commands are listed below.
