The camel-http4
component provides HTTP based endpoints for calling external HTTP resources (as a client to call external servers using HTTP).
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml
for this component:

|
| The URI to call. The value of this option will override the existing URI that's set directly on the endpoint. It's not the same as the Camel endpoint URI, where you can configure endpoint options such as security etc. This header does not support that, it's only the URI of the HTTP server. |
Before setting the above, you may wish to read How to avoid sending some or all message headers to prevent inadvertent data "leaks" from your application.
Message Body
Camel will store the HTTP response from the external server on the OUT
body. All headers from the IN
message will be copied to the OUT
message, so headers are preserved during routing. Additionally Camel will add the HTTP response headers as well to the OUT
message headers.
Info | ||
---|---|---|

When
|
Response Code
Camel will handle according to the HTTP response code:
- Response code is in the range
100..299
, Camel regards it as a success response. - Response code is in the range
300..399
, Camel regards it as a redirection response and will throw aHttpOperationFailedException
with the information. Response code is
400+
, Camel regards it as an external server failure and will throw aHttpOperationFailedException
with the information.Tip title throwExceptionOnFailure If
throwExceptionOnFailure=false
theHttpOperationFailedException
will not be thrown for failed response codes. This allows you to get any response from the remote server.
There is a sample below demonstrating this.
HttpOperationFailedException
This exception contains the following information:
- The HTTP status code.
- The HTTP status line (text of the status code).
- Redirect location, if server returned a redirect.
- Response body as a
java.lang.String
, if server provided a body as response.
Calling using GET
or POST
The following algorithm is used to determine whether the GET
or POST
HTTP method should be used:
- Use the method provided in the header.
GET
if query string is provided in the header.GET
if endpoint is configured with a query string.POST
if there is data to send (body is not null).GET
otherwise.
How to Access The HttpServletRequest
and HttpServletResponse
You can get access to these two using the Camel type converter system using

Using Proxy Settings Outside of the URI
To avoid System properties conflicts, you can set proxy configuration only from the CamelContext
or URI.
Java DSL:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
h4. Using proxy settings outside of URI
To avoid the System properties conflicts, you can only set the proxy configure from CameContext or URI.
Java DSL :
{code}
context.getProperties().put("http.proxyHost", "172.168.18.9");
context.getProperties().put("http.proxyPort" "8080");
|
Spring DSL:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
<camelContext> <properties> <property key="http.proxyHost" value="172.168.18.9"/> {code} Spring XML {code} <camelContext> <property <properties>key="http.proxyPort" value="8080"/> <property key="http.proxyHost" value="172.168.18.9"/> <property key="http.proxyPort" value="8080"/> </properties> </camelContext> {code} Camel will first set the settings from Java System or CamelContext Properties and then the endpoint proxy options if provided. So you can override the system properties with the endpoint options. h3. Configuring charset If you are using {{POST}} to send data you can configure the {{charset}} using the {{Exchange}} property: {code} exchange.setProperty(Exchange.CHARSET_NAME, "ISO-8859-1"); {code} h4. Sample with scheduled poll The sample polls the Google homepage every 10 seconds and write the page to the file {{message.html}}: {code} from("timer://foo?fixedRate=true&delay=0&period=10000") .to</properties> </camelContext> |
Camel will first set the settings from Java System or CamelContext
Properties and then the endpoint proxy options if provided. So you can override the system properties with the endpoint options.
Info |
---|
Note: in Camel 2.8 there is also a http.proxyScheme property you can set to explicit configure the scheme to use. |
Configuring charset
If you are using POST
to send data you can configure the charset
using the Exchange
property:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
exchange.setProperty(Exchange.CHARSET_NAME, "ISO-8859-1");
|
Example: Using a Scheduled Poll
This sample polls the Google homepage every 10 seconds and write the page to the file message.html
:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
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.
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
// we query for Camel at the Google page template.sendBody("http4://www.google.com/search?q=Camel", null); |
URI Parameters From the Message
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Map headers = new HashMap();
headers.put(Exchange.HTTP_QUERY, "q=Camel&lr=lang_en");
// we query for Camel and English language at Google
template.sendBody("http4://www.google.com/search", null, headers);
|
In the header value above notice that it should not be prefixed with ?
and you can separate parameters as usual with the &
char.
Getting the Response Code
You can get the HTTP response code from the camel-http4
component by getting the value from the OUT
message header with Exchange.HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE
.
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Exchange exchange = template.send("http4://www.google.com/search", new Processor() {
public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
exchange.getIn().setHeader(Exchange.HTTP_QUERY, constant("hl=en&q=activemq"));
}
});
Message out = exchange.getOut();
int responseCode = out.getHeader(Exchange.HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE, Integer.class);
|
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
From Camel 2.8: the camel-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 camel-http4
component.
Programmatic Configuration of the Component
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
KeyStoreParameters ksp = new KeyStoreParameters();
ksp.setResource("/users/home/server/keystore.jks");
ksp.setPassword("keystorePassword");
KeyManagersParameters kmp = new KeyManagersParameters();
kmp.setKeyStore(ksp);
kmp.setKeyPassword("keyPassword");
SSLContextParameters scp = new SSLContextParameters();
scp.setKeyManagers(kmp);
HttpComponent httpComponent = getContext().getComponent("https4", HttpComponent.class);
httpComponent.setSslContextParameters(scp);

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. {code:java} // we query for Camel at the Google page template.sendBody("http4://www.google.com/search?q=Camel", null); {code} h4. URI Parameters from the Message {code:java} Map headers = new HashMap(); headers.put(HttpProducer.QUERY, "q=Camel&lr=lang_en"); // we query for Camel and English language at Google template.sendBody("http4://www.google.com/search", null, headers); {code} In the header value above notice that it should *not* be prefixed with {{?}} and you can separate parameters as usual with the {{&}} char. h4. Getting the Response Code You can get the HTTP response code from the HTTP4 component by getting the value from the Out message header with {{HttpProducer.HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE}}. {code:java} Exchange exchange = template.send("http4://www.google.com/search", new Processor() { public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception { exchange.getIn().setHeader(HttpProducer.QUERY, constant("hl=en&q=activemq"));resource="/users/home/server/keystore.jks" password="keystorePassword"/> } }); Message out = exchange.getOut(); int responseCode = out.getHeader(HttpProducer.HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE, Integer.class); {code} h3. Disabling Cookies To disable cookies you can set the HTTP Client to ignore cookies by adding this URI option: {{httpClient.cookiePolicy=ignoreCookies}} h3. 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. h4. Using HTTPS to authenticate gotchas An end user reported that he had problem with authenticating with HTTPS. The problem was eventually resolved when he discovered the HTTPS server did not return a HTTP code 401 Authorization Required. The solution was to set the following URI option: {{httpClient.authenticationPreemptive=true}} h4.

Configuring Apache HTTP Client Directly
Basically camel-http4
component is built on the top of Apache HttpClient. 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)));
|
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());
|
If you are doing this using the Spring DSL, you can specify your HttpClientConfigurer
using the URI.
Example:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
<bean id="myHttpClientConfigurer"
class="my.https.HttpClientConfigurer">
</bean>
<to uri="https4://myhostname.com:443/myURL?httpClientConfigurer=myHttpClientConfigurer"/>
|
As long as you implement the HttpClientConfigurer
and configure your keystore and truststore as described above, it will work fine.
Using HTTPS to authenticate gotchas
An end user reported that he had problem with authenticating with HTTPS. The problem was eventually resolved by providing a custom configured org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext
:
1. Create a (Spring) factory for HttpContext
's:
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
}
|
2. Declare an HttpContext
in the Spring application context file:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
<bean id="myHttpContext" factory-bean="httpContextFactory" factory-method="getObject"/>
|
3. Reference the context in the http4
URL:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
<to uri="https4://myhostname.com:443/myURL?httpContext=myHttpContext"/>
|
Using Different SSLContextParameters
The HTTP4 component only support one instance of org.apache.camel.util.jsse.SSLContextParameters
per component. If you need to use two or more different instances, then you need to setup multiple HTTP4 components as shown below. Where we have two components, each using their own instance of sslContextParameters
property.
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
<bean id="http4-foo" class="org.apache.camel.component.http4.HttpComponent">
<property name="sslContextParameters" ref="sslContextParams1"/>
<property name="x509HostnameVerifier" ref="hostnameVerifier"/>
</bean>
<bean id="http4-bar" class="org.apache.camel.component.http4.HttpComponent">
<property name="sslContextParameters" ref="sslContextParams2"/>
<property name="x509HostnameVerifier" ref="hostnameVerifier"/>
</bean>
