# HTTP Output

**Applies to:** Lasernet Core 11

Used for sending jobs to an Internet URL destination such as a HTTP or HTTPS server.

## Connection

| **Protocol** | Supported protocols are HTTP and HTTPS. |
| --- | --- |
| **Security** | Only visible for HTTPS protocol. Selectable choices for security protocols are **Auto**, **SSL 3.0** or **TLS**. For TLS, you can select a specific protocol version (1.0, 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3), or you can specify that Lasernet Core should negotiate with the server to use a specific version or higher (for example, you can select **1.0 or higher**). |
| **Verb** | The **GET** method is used to retrieve whatever information is identified by the Request-URI. The **POST** method is used to request that the origin server accept the entity enclosed in the request as a new subordinate of the resource identified by the Request-URI in the Request-Line. The **PUT** method requests that the enclosed entity be stored under the supplied Request-URI. The **DELETE** method requests that the origin server delete the resource identified by the Request-URI (JobData will not be send when using the DELETE method, only the resource is deleted). The **PATCH** method is used to update partial resources. |
| **Empty request** | To upload no content in body, activate this setting, and the job will not be inserted automatically. |
| **XML-RPC** | Activate to use HTTP as the transport and XML as the encoding. |
| **Host** | URL for HTTP. Protocol type or remote path should not be included as part of the URL. |
| **Timeout** | If the connection cannot be established by the timeout has been reached, the attempt will be abandoned. Default timeout is 30 seconds. |
| **Remote path** | The remote path on the HTTP server where files need to be uploaded to, if different from the default login directory. |
| **Filename** | Wildcards are supported for returning one or more files to retrieve. |
| **Maintain session** | Activate to save cookies to Job and re-use in succeeding objects. |

## Authentication

| **Username and password** | Set username and password if basic authentication is required. |
| --- | --- |
| **Domain** | Used with NTLM and Kerberos authentication. |
| **Authentication** | Supported types are **Normal** authentication, **NTLM** and **Kerberos/NTLM**. |

## Security

| **Use Client Certificate** | For HTTPS it is usually not necessary to specify a client certificate and private key. If required you must activate this setting. |
| --- | --- |
| **Load from** | Select to load the client certificate from: - File with one of the extensions for X.509 certificates - Retrieve the certificate and private key from a JobInfo - Load the certificate from a store |
| **Client Private Key** | To be authenticated, select a private key for the client. |
| **Private Key Password** | Set the password for the private key. |
| **Subject Common Name (CN)** | When enabled you must set a CN to match the subject for the host being authenticated. |
| **Require trusted root certificate** | Enabling this option will perform a range of verifications of the certificate used for HTTPS: 1. Validation of the certificate. 2. Expiration of any certificate in the chain. 3. Root certificate is trusted. |

| **Parameters** | Add a set of parameters with values to the HTTP request. |
| --- | --- |

## Response ![The Response tab for an HTTP Output module.](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/http-image-phyxq0e3.png)

| **Required content-type** | Content-type required for document. |
| --- | --- |
| **Body in** | After receiving and interpreting a request message, the server responds with an HTTP response message. You can define where to insert the HTTP body. Select **Nowhere** to store it nowhere, **JobData** if you are going to use it as job data in another module, or **JobInfo** if you want to insert the value into a specific JobInfo. |

## JobInfos

The HTTP Output module sets these JobInfos.

| **HTTPHeaderFieldName** | JobInfo list containing field names for the HTTP response headers. |
| --- | --- |
| **HTTPHeaderFieldValue** | JobInfo list containing field values for the HTTP response headers. |
| **HTTPHeader*** | The headers described by **HTTPHeaderFieldName** and **HTTPHeaderFieldValue** are also stored in individual dedicated JobInfos. For example, **HTTPHeaderContent-Length**. |
| **HTTPStatusCode** | Status code for HTTP response. |
| **HTTPStatusText** | Status text for HTTP response. |
