You may also set the *throwExcpetionOnFailure* to be false to let the HttpProducer send all fault responses back.

The

The HTTP4 component provides a way to set the HTTP request method by setting the message header. Here is an example:

The HTTP4 component provides a way to set the HTTP request method by setting the message header. Here is an example:

then

the

there

is

also

Sample with scheduled poll

from("timer://foo?fixedRate=true&delay=0&period=10000")
  .to("http4://www.google.com")
  .setHeader(FileComponent.HEADER_FILE_NAME, "message.html")
  .to("file:target/google");

URI Parameters from the endpoint URI

In this sample we have the complete URI endpoint that is just what you would have typed in a web browser. Multiple URI parameters can of course be set using the & character as separator, just as you would in the web browser. Camel does no tricks here.

{{

Disabling Cookies

To disable cookies you can set the HTTP Client to ignore cookies by adding this URI option:
httpClient.cookiePolicy=ignoreCookies

Advanced Usage

If you need more control over the HTTP producer you should use the HttpComponent where you can set various classes to give you custom behavior.

Setting up SSL for HTTP Client

Using the JSSE Configuration Utility

As of Camel 2.8, the HTTP4 component supports SSL/TLS configuration through the Camel JSSE Configuration Utility.  This utility greatly decreases the amount of component specific code you need to write and is configurable at the endpoint and component levels.  The following examples demonstrate how to use the utility with the HTTP4 component.

Configuring Apache HTTP Client Directly

Basically camel-http4

...

component

...

is

...

built

...

on

...

the

...

top

...

of

...

Apache

...

HTTP

...

client. Please refer to SSL/TLS customization for details or have a look into the org.apache.camel.component.http4.HttpsServerTestSupport

...

unit

...

test

...

base

...

class.

...


You

...

can

...

also

...

implement

...

a

...

custom

...

org.apache.camel.component.http4.HttpClientConfigurer

...

to

...

do

...

some

...

configuration

...

on

...

the

...

http

...

client

...

if

...

you

...

need

...

full

...

control

...

of

...

it.

...

However

...

if

...

you

...

just

...

want

...

to

...

specify

...

the

...

keystore

...

and

...

truststore

...

you

...

can

...

do

...

this

...

with

...

Apache

...

HTTP

...

HttpClientConfigurer

...

,

...

for

...

example:

{
Code Block
}
KeyStore keystore = ...;
KeyStore truststore = ...;

SchemeRegistry registry = new SchemeRegistry();
registry.register(new Scheme("https", 443, new SSLSocketFactory(keystore, "mypassword", truststore)));
{code}

And

...

then

...

you

...

need

...

to

...

create

...

a

...

class

...

that

...

implements

...

HttpClientConfigurer

...

,

...

and

...

registers

...

https

...

protocol

...

providing

...

a

...

keystore

...

or

...

truststore

...

per

...

example

...

above.

...

Then,

...

from

...

your

...

camel

...

route

...

builder

...

class

...

you

...

can

...

hook

...

it

...

up

...

like

...

so:

{
Code Block
}
HttpComponent httpComponent = getContext().getComponent("http4", HttpComponent.class);
httpComponent.setHttpClientConfigurer(new MyHttpClientConfigurer());
{code}

If

...

you

...

are

...

doing

...

this

...

using

...

the

...

Spring

...

DSL,

...

you

...

can

...

specify

...

your

...

HttpClientConfigurer

...

using

...

the

...

URI.

...

For

...

example:

{
Code Block
}
<bean id="myHttpClientConfigurer"
 class="my.https.HttpClientConfigurer">
</bean>

<to uri="https4://myhostname.com:443/myURL?httpClientConfigurer=myHttpClientConfigurer"/>
{code}

As

...

long

...

as

...

you

...

implement

...

the

...

HttpClientConfigurer

...

and

...

configure

...

your

...

keystore

...

and

...

truststore

...

as

...

described

...

above,

...

it

...

will

...

work

...

fine.

that

he

with

...

The

problem

...

was

eventually

resolved

by

providing

a

for

{
Code Block
}
public class HttpContextFactory {

  private String httpHost = "localhost";
  private String httpPort = 9001;

  private BasicHttpContext httpContext = new BasicHttpContext();
  private BasicAuthCache authCache = new BasicAuthCache();
  private BasicScheme basicAuth = new BasicScheme();

  public HttpContext getObject() {
    authCache.put(new HttpHost(httpHost, httpPort), basicAuth);

    httpContext.setAttribute(ClientContext.AUTH_CACHE, authCache);

    return httpContext;
  }

  // getter and setter
}
{code}

2.

...

an

HttpContext

in

the

Spring

application

...

context

file:

{
Code Block
}
<bean id="myHttpContext" factory-bean="httpContextFactory" factory-method="getObject"/>
{code}

3.

...

Reference

...

the

...

context

...

in

...

the

...

http4

...

URL:

{
Code Block
}
<to uri="https4://myhostname.com:443/myURL?httpContext=myHttpContext"/>
