Peter Kimberley created NIFI-12304: -------------------------------------- Summary: Document ListenHTTP content unpack behaviour Key: NIFI-12304 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-12304 Project: Apache NiFi Issue Type: Improvement Components: Documentation & Website Affects Versions: 1.23.2 Reporter: Peter Kimberley
{{ListenHTTP}} depending on the MIME type, will unpack received content automatically. For example, if using {{InvokeHTTP}} with a flowfile packed in {{FlowFile Stream v3}} format, with the {{mime.type}} attribute set to {{application/flowfile-v3}}. When {{ListenHTTP}} receives the payload, it will interpret the MIME type and if it matches a well-known value (i.e. {{application/flowfile-v3}}), the content will automatically be unpacked by this processor. While that's a handy feature, it is potentially confusing as this inline unpacking behaviour isn't documented, and a reasonable expectation is that one needs to {{UnpackContent}} separately in a subsequent processor. Recommend adding some use case documentation to {{ListenHTTP}}, to avoid confusion. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
