The document provides an overview of Mulesoft's HTTP Connector. It describes how the connector can be used to listen for and send HTTP/HTTPS requests. It also provides a sample use case demonstrating how to configure the connector as a listener to handle incoming GET requests, transforming the payload and logging the response.

Step 3: Add a set payload transformer and a logger just after it
Value:
#['This is a sample payload']
Message:
#['LOGGER_MSG- '+message.payload]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/mulesofthttpconnector-160723214453/85/Mulesoft-http-connector-10-320.jpg)

- 2. Agenda • Introduction • Ways it works • HTTP Listener • HTTP Requester • Sample Use Case • Conclusion
- 3. About The HTTP connector can send and receive HTTP and HTTPS requests given a selected host, port and address. Depending on your needs, you can either: Listen for HTTP requests Send HTTP requests Through additional configuration, the connector allows you to: Use TLS encryption to send or receive HTTPS requests Send Authenticated Requests, via Basic Authentication, Digest and OAuth
- 4. Ways it works In Studio, the HTTP connector can work in one of two ways, depending on where it’s placed in a flow: As an HTTP Listener As an HTTP Requester
- 5. As HTTP Listener To instantiate the connector as an HTTP listener connector, you must place it onto a blank Anypoint Studio canvas into the Source section of a new flow (i.e. as the first element in the flow) as you design your Mule application:
- 6. As HTTP Requester To instantiate the connector as an HTTP request connector, you must place it into the Process section of a flow (i.e. : anywhere except the beginning of it):
- 7. Sample Use Case So now, we will see how http connector works as a listener:
- 8. Continue… Step 1: Create a new flow httpconndemoFlow as directed below:
- 9. Continue… Step 2: Configure http listener of httpconndemoFlow for GET method as:
- 10. Continue… Step 3: Add a set payload transformer and a logger just after it Value: #['This is a sample payload'] Message: #['LOGGER_MSG- '+message.payload]
- 11. Continue… Resulting XML config would be:
- 12. Continue… Now, we let’s start testing in browser Corresponding logger message in console:
- 13. Conclusion So this way we have seen how http connector works as a listener, Similarly http requester can be configured and be used. HTTP listener can be configured for different HTTP methods- GET, POST, etc.
