Thank you very much Joe. I'll work on configuring my SSLContextService. I am indeed using Hello_NiFi_Web_Service as my starting point. I do have that HandleHttpResponse processor in there but haven't yet configured and enabled that. I will do that too. My initial thought was this: get something to POST from Python over to the processor in NiFi first, worry about the response next. Perhaps both are required for it to work; I'm not sure, being that I'm just now trying this for the first time. I'll give it another try. Thanks again, Matt and Joe. Cheers, Jim
