camel-http4 vs camel-http

Camel-http4 uses Apache HttpClient 4.x while camel-http uses Apache HttpClient 3.x.

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?option=value&option=value&...

camel-http4 vs camel-jetty

You can only produce to endpoints generated by the HTTP4 component. Therefore it should never be used as input into your Camel Routes. To bind/expose an HTTP endpoint via a HTTP server as input to a Camel route, use the Jetty Component instead.

Message Headers

Name

Type

Description

Exchange.HTTP_URI

String

URI to call. Will override existing URI set directly on the endpoint. This uri is the uri of the http server to call. Its not the same as the Camel endpoint uri, where you can configure endpoint options such as security etc. This header does not support that, its only the uri of the http server.

Exchange.HTTP_PATH

String

Request URI's path, the header will be used to build the request URI with the HTTP_URI.

Exchange.HTTP_QUERY

String

URI parameters. Will override existing URI parameters set directly on the endpoint.

Exchange.HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE

int

The HTTP response code from the external server. Is 200 for OK.

Exchange.HTTP_RESPONSE_TEXT

StringThe HTTP response text from the external server.

Exchange.HTTP_CHARACTER_ENCODING

String

Character encoding.

Exchange.CONTENT_TYPE

String

The HTTP content type. Is set on both the IN and OUT message to provide a content type, such as text/html.

Exchange.CONTENT_ENCODING

String

The HTTP content encoding. Is set on both the IN and OUT message to provide a content encoding, such as gzip.

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 serv er 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.

 

Using System Properties

When setting useSystemProperties to true, the HTTP Client will look for the following System Properties and it will use it:

  • ssl.TrustManagerFactory.algorithm
  • javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType
  • javax.net.ssl.trustStore
  • javax.net.ssl.trustStoreProvider
  • javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword
  • java.home
  • ssl.KeyManagerFactory.algorithm
  • javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType
  • javax.net.ssl.keyStore
  • javax.net.ssl.keyStoreProvider
  • javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword
  • http.proxyHost
  • http.proxyPort
  • http.nonProxyHosts
  • http.keepAlive
  • http.maxConnections

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 a HttpOperationFailedException with the information.
  • Response code is 400+, Camel regards it as an external server failure and will throw a HttpOperationFailedException with the information.

    throwExceptionOnFailure

    The option, throwExceptionOnFailure, can be set to false to prevent the HttpOperationFailedException from being 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:
1. Use method provided in header.
2. GET if query string is provided in header.
3. GET if endpoint is configured with a query string.
4. POST if there is data to send (body is not null).
5. GET otherwise.

How to get access to HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse

You can get access to these two using the Camel type converter system using
NOTE You can get the request and response not just from the processor after the camel-jetty or camel-cxf endpoint.

+

Will by default use port 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS.

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?option=value&option=value&...

Message Headers

Name

Type

Description

Exchange.HTTP_URI

String

URI to call. Will override existing URI set directly on the endpoint. This uri is the uri of the http server to call. Its not the same as the Camel endpoint uri, where you can configure endpoint options such as security etc. This header does not support that, its only the uri of the http server.

Exchange.HTTP_PATH

String

Request URI's path, the header will be used to build the request URI with the HTTP_URI.

Exchange.HTTP_QUERY

String

URI parameters. Will override existing URI parameters set directly on the endpoint.

Exchange.HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE

int

The HTTP response code from the external server. Is 200 for OK.

Exchange.HTTP_RESPONSE_TEXT

StringThe HTTP response text from the external server.

Exchange.HTTP_CHARACTER_ENCO DING

String

Character encoding.

Exchange.CONTENT_TYPE

String

The HTTP content type. Is set on both the IN and OUT message to provide a content type, such as text/html.

Exchange.CONTENT_ENCODING

String

The HTTP content encoding. Is set on both the IN and OUT message to provide a content encoding, such as gzip.

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.

 

Using System Properties

When setting useSystemProperties to true, the HTTP Client will look for the following System Properties and it will use it:

  • ssl.TrustManagerFactory.algorithm
  • javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType
  • javax.net.ssl.trustStore
  • javax.net.ssl.trustStoreProvider
  • javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword
  • java.home
  • ssl.KeyManagerFactory.algorithm
  • javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType
  • javax.net.ssl.keyStore
  • javax.net.ssl.keyStoreProvider
  • javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword
  • htt p.proxyHost
  • http.proxyPort
  • http.nonProxyHosts
  • http.keepAlive
  • http.maxConnections

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 a HttpOperationFailedException with the information.
  • Response code is 400+, Camel regards it as an external server failure and will throw a HttpOperationFailedException with the information.

    throwExceptionOnFailure

    The option, throwExceptionOnFailure, can be set to false to prevent the HttpOperationFailedException from being 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:
1. Use method provided in header.
2. GET if query string is provided in header.
3. GET if endpoint is configured with a query string.
4. POST if there is data to send (body is not null).
5. GET otherwise.

How to get access to HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse

You can get access to these two using the Camel type converter system using
NOTE You can get the request and response not just from the processor after the camel-jetty or camel-cxf endpoint.
