Mark Payne commented on NIFI-9894:
----------------------------------
[~exceptionfactory] I think it's a reasonable improvement to InvokeHTTP.
We already have two properties "Put Response Body In Attribute" and "Request
Body Enabled" that are true/false values.
This is very unfortunate - it would have made much more sense to have these be
values like "Response Body Destination" with values of {{{}FlowFile
Content{}}}, {{{}Attribute{}}}, {{None}} and also allowing Request Body to be
chosen as {{{}Expression Language{}}}, {{{}FlowFIle Content{}}}, or
{{{}None{}}}.
Perhaps as part of 2.0, we could consolidate these together.
> Enhance InvokeHTTP process - Send content through body variable

> Key: NIFI-9894
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9894
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Framework
> Affects Versions: 1.15.3
> Reporter: Denis Jakupovic
> Priority: Trivial
>
> Hey,
> could you please implement an attribute in the InvokeHTTP processor where the
> processor sends a "body attribute" as raw content instead of the current
> content triggering an InvokeHTTP processor.
> The process of sending JSON files through the processor currently is:
> 1. ReplaceText with content if needed
> 2. Call Invoke HTTP
> 3. Read Reponse variable or the new content created
> 3. ReplaceText with enriched content
> Yes I know in Nifi 1.16 there is are two new processor for enrichment which
> needs then to be merged again. However, by working with a lot of RESTful
> services its quite a pain always to replace the content. The data lineage and
> provenance increases a lot as well.
> imho better process in some use case:
> # InvokeHTTP with attibute as body
> # Read the "original" route instead of the response and read response adde
> attribute. (feature already available)
