HTTP Parser

Overview

The HTTP Parser parses the HTTP request headers and body. As such, it acts as a barrier in the policy to guarantee that the entire content has been received before any other filters are invoked. It requires the content.body attribute.

The HTTP Parser filter forces the server to do "store-and-forward" routing instead of the default "cut-through" routing, where the request is only parsed on-demand. This filter can be used as a simple test to ensure that the message is XML, for example.

Configuration

Enter a name for the filter in the Name field.
