We are currently using the Camel http4 component to perform both http and https calls either directly or through a proxy. All these scenarios work by configuring the http4 component in a certain way
ex: plain http without proxy <to uri="http4://endpoint?throwExceptionOnFailure=false" /> ex: https without proxy <to uri="https4://endpoint?throwExceptionOnFailure=false&sslContextParametersRef=sslContextParameters" /> ex: https with a proxy <to uri="https4://endpoint?throwExceptionOnFailure=false&sslContextParametersRef=sslContextParameters&proxyAuthScheme=http4&proxyAuthHost=proxy-host......" /> I had 2 questions regarding that: 1. Is there a way to externalize the proxy settings in a proxyParametersRef component, and just reference it, similar to the sslContextParameters bean ? We have a lot of http4 components in our flow, and we find that we constantly have to repeat the following proxy properties in the endpoint : proxyAuthScheme proxyAuthHost proxyAuthPort proxyAuthUsername proxyAuthDomain proxyAuthPassword proxyAuthNtHost This results in a lot of duplication, and the ?key=value&key2=value2&key3=value3 is not the nicest thing to read in our camel context. Is there a better way of doing it ? 2. Certain backends are targeted either using http or https (depending on the environment). How can we dynamically choose to either use the http endpoint or the https endpoint ? <to uri="http4://endpoint?throwExceptionOnFailure=false" /> <to uri="https4://endpoint?throwExceptionOnFailure=false&sslContextParametersRef=sslContextParameters" /> There has to be something better than putting this in our flows : <choice> <when> <simple>${header.CamelHttpUri.substring(0,5)} == "https"</simple> <to uri="https4://endpoint?throwExceptionOnFailure=false&sslContextParametersRef=sslContextParameters" /> </when> <otherwise> <to uri="http4://endpoint?throwExceptionOnFailure=false" /> </otherwise> <choice> To simplify our flows, it would be nice to have an http endpoint that detects if it needs http or https (depending on the CamelHttpUri). Is such a thing possible in Camel ? -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Configuring-the-Camel-http4-component-tp5727123.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
