HTTP (Inbound)
A HTTP Transport is used to connect to a HTTP web server over the Internet or local network. You can receive Files from the remote HTTP service. You configure the HTTP Transport with the appropriate details for connecting to the remote service and retrieving any files that match your requirements. The Inbound Transport will always activate with a particular File Connection and it is the properties of this File Connection that determine the filter for matching files.
The HTTP Transport can only be used with appropriate web sites that return files as part of a Get or Post request. The FlowTransportWeb is compatible with the inbound HTTP Transport. The transport expects to receive the file as the body of the response along with an HTTP response of 200.
