-----------------------------------
Summary: Remove dependency on external (non-Apache) HTTP resource
for data feed
Key: NIFI-6331
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6331
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Tools and Build
Affects Versions: 1.9.2
Reporter: Andy LoPresto
A test resource
(https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/master/nifi-testharness/src/test/resources/flow.xml#L85-L91)
uses the BBC World RSS feed in a {{GetHTTP}} processor. This RSS feed is
served over HTTP. I believe we should not rely on external (non-Apache) hosted
services for tests, as these could change at any time, and regardless of the
origin of the data, should prefer HTTPS unless explicitly testing HTTP
services.
I propose changing the test resource to use
{{https://nifi.apache.org/security.html}} or any other page hosted on the NiFi
site (the test flow functionality does not use any RSS features).
