HTTP server

Open

The HTTP server functions allow you to create an HTTP server host within Usage Engine and manage incoming HTTP requests. It enables the system to receive and process HTTP requests, such as those sent by REST API clients. This function is essential for integrating external systems, enabling real-time data exchange, and supporting RESTful interfaces.

When placing a HTTP server function into a stream, the stream will execute in streaming mode. See Streaming mode with HTTP server functionsPreview for more information about what this means.

There are two types of HTTP server functions available in Usage Engine, each designed to handle different scenarios for processing HTTP requests.
