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

             Summary: InvokeHTTP does not send filename attribute
                 Key: NIFI-11934
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-11934
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Extensions
    Affects Versions: 1.23.0
            Reporter: Mark Bean


The InvokeHTTP processor can be configured to send FlowFile attributes when 
using the POST HTTP method. Certain attributes are excluded from being sent. 
These include some core attributes: UUID, FILENAME and PATH. It makes sense to 
exclude UUID and PATH as these will be created/assigned when the FlowFile is 
received by a ListenHTTP processor. However, filename should be allowed to 
remain as the original filename.

Not only is does this make good sense from a flow perspective, but it is also 
consistent with the behavior of the now-deprecated PostHTTP processor. This 
functionality must be maintained or dataflows will break when PostHTTP is no 
longer available.
