Apache Nifi : ListenHTTP vs HandleHTTPRequest

Viewed 1037

What is the major difference between ListenHTTP vs HandleHTTPRequest Processor in Apache Nifi? When will use ListenHTTP and when will use HandleHTTPRequest?

1 Answers

You can use ListenHTTP alone when you are processing a stream that does not need to send answer to the caller. Rather, you will use HandleHTTPRequest in conjunction with HandleHTTPResponse to act as a web service (meaning reading a request and sending a response back). In summary : - Response needed => HandleHTTPRequest/HandleHTTPResponse - No response => ListenHTTP
