This topic explains configuration options for using HTTP 1.0 with selected supporting tools and provisioning action tools.After selecting HTTP 1.0 from the Transport drop-down menu within the Transport tab of an appropriate tool, the following options display in the left pane of the Transport tab:

General

General page options include:

URL Parameters 

URL Parameters page options include:

URL query parameters are formatted according to the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" content type. Space characters are replaced with '+'. Non alpha numeric characters are replaced with a percent sign followed by two hexadecimal digits representing the character code. Names and values are separated by '=' and name-value pairs are separated by '&'. 

If you want to use a different format, query parameters can also be specified directly at the end of the tool's endpoint URL (instead of in the URL Parameters section). For example, you could use http://host:8080/path?a=1&b=2&c=3

HTTP Headers

HTTP Headers page options include:

These controls are used to override header fields. For example, you can override the Content-Type header field by specifying the desired name and value via these controls. 



The following header fields, which are added by default, can be overridden via these UI controls.

Host

The value will contain the host name and port number from the HTTP endpoint or resource URL.

Content-Type

The media type of the outgoing message. This header is only sent if the outgoing message contains a body which is controlled by the HTTP method.  A body is sent for POST, PUT, and DELETE methods and not for GET, OPTIONS, HEAD, or TRACE.

The default value is determined based on the type of message being sent. The content-type of an SOAP message will vary depending on the SOAP version, "text/xml" for SOAP 1.1 or "application/soap+xml" for SOAP 1.2. Other XML messages will use "text/xml" by default. JSON messages will use "application/json". A message configured using the Table view will use "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". A message sent with MIME attachments will contain a "multipart" content-type with "start" and "boundary" parameters. Messages belonging to EDI, Fixed Length, CSV, or Custom message formats will have the media type for the message format.


Content-Length

The size of the outgoing message in bytes.

The following HTTP headers are configured conditionally. They are configured outside of this table or have values that must be dynamically generated.

SOAPAction

This HTTP header is sent for SOAP 1.1 only. It is set in the SOAPAction field of the General page


Authorization

This header is constructed automatically based on the HTTP Authentication and OAuth settings specified in your preferences (under Security> HTTP Authentication and OAuth). The value for NTLM, Digest, and Kerberos authentication will vary depending on various factors, including dynamically-generated challenge responses and security tokens. 

Connection

This header is added to the message with value of Keep-Alive if Keep-Alive connection is enabled. This header is not sent if Close connection is enabled (this is the default). Keep-Alive must be enabled for NTLM and Digest HTTP authentication.

Proxy-Authorization

This header is constructed based on the Proxy Authentication settings in the preferences and whether the server indicated that proxy authentication is required.
