-------------------------------

             Summary: For GET requests, InvokeHTTP should set the filename of 
the 'Response' FlowFile based on the URL
                 Key: NIFI-830
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-830
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Extensions
            Reporter: Mark Payne
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.0.0


When using InvokeHTTP to fetch the content of a particular URL, I expected that 
the filename of the 'Response' FlowFile would be set to the filename pulled. 
I.e., if I pulled http://www.somesite.com/images/1.png, I would have expected 
the 'Response' FlowFile to have a filename of "1.png" but instead it had the 
same filename as the incoming FlowFile.

I don't think this is something that we can change until version 1.0.0 because 
it could potentially break backward compatibility of flows by changing the 
filename unexpectedly. In the meantime, I have added an UpdateAttribute to set 
the filename to ${url:substringAfterLast('/'):substringBefore('?')}
