HTTP Output Connector
The HTTP Output Connector sends a cue point using the HTTP protocol. It operates in two modes; it either sends an HTTP POST message containing stwcue XML, or it sends an HTTP GET request with cue point values as arguments in the query string. The first mode is usually used to communicate with the Media Proxy and the second is for third-party services.
Param Name | Mandatory | Description | Default Value | Possible Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Url | Yes | Address of the message’s destination. In HTTP GET mode, keys in square brackets ([ and ]) are replaced with values from the sending cue point. |
| Not null. |
Send as HTTP GET | N/A | If checked, uses HTTP GET to send messages. If not checked, and Url has default value then the message will be send to Media Proxy. | Not checked. | Checked/Not checked. |
In the screenshot above, you see the default mode when RAS Adapter sends messages to the Media Proxy.
It’s also possible to send messages as HTTP GET requests to an arbitrary address. In order to do so, you need to check the Send as HTTP GET box and put the parameters in square brackets.
