> Key: NIFI-221
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-221
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Mark Payne
> Assignee: Mark Payne
>
> The idea here is that we can receipt an HTTP request and use NiFi, in essence
> to build a web server graphically. This opens up a wide range of
> possibilities, by allowing a DFM to easily add a web front-end to any service
> that NiFi can interact with or to perform any sort of action that NiFi has
> the ability to perform, such as data format conversion, etc.
> For example, if you want to provide a web-based front-end to an SFTP Server,
> you could do so by creating a flow like:
> ReceiveHTTPRequest -> PutSFTP -> RespondHTTPRequest
