@nickcarenza thanks for the PR, much appreciated.
I was going through it and got myself wondering:
Is there any reason why we are doing this when InvokeHTTP processor cater
for the very same need (i.e. POST followed by content to attributes)
From its documentation:
> **Put Response Body In Attribute**
>
> _If set, the response body received back will be put into an attribute of
the original FlowFile instead of a separate FlowFile. The attribute key to put
to is determined by evaluating value of this property.
> Supports Expression Language: true_
Keen to understand the reason as I suspect I am missing something
> PostHTTP Option to write response to attribute or flowfile content

> Components: Core Framework
> Reporter: Nicholas Carenza
> Priority: Minor

> Currently there doesn't seem to be a way to access anything about the
> response of an HTTP request from the PostHTTP processor other than whether it
> failed or succeeded.
> I would like to be able to:
> - store the response body in an attribute or replace the flowfile content
> - store the status code in an attribute
