HTTP Target

HTTP Target provides the ability to specify the file location that is accessible via HTTP. This section describes how to create an HTTP target service.

As this HTTP Target service has now been deprecated in Connect, it is recommended that you use REST Consumer with Put or Post method instead of this. Click here to know how to create REST consumer with Put or Post method.

To create an HTTP Target:

  1. Click Configure > TARGETS > HTTP Target.
  2. Click Create HTTP Target.


  3. Type the name and description of the new HTTP target service.
  4. Type the HTTP URL.
    This is the URL of the target application to which you want to post the data. It is the combination of the File Path and File Name. For instance, if the File Path is http://www.myorganization.com/HR_Files/Employee/ and File Name is EMP_PersonalDetails.xls then HTTP URL is http://www.myorganization.com/HR_Files/Employee/EMP_PersonalDetails.xls.
  5. Select the post type from the Post Type drop-down box. The available post type: HTTP or HTTPS.
  6. Select the RFC format from the RFC Format drop-down box. The available RFC format: RFC 1867 or RFC 1869. 
  7. Expand Advanced Properties.
  8. Select the Project from the drop-down list of Project. 
  9. Click Save.

    Click Test to verify the HTTP target service. This verifies the values given in the HTTP URL and Port Type fields.
