Media Server includes an output engine for sending data to a server through an HTTP POST request. The body of the request contains the information produced by the XSL transformation.
To send information over HTTP
Create a new configuration to send to Media Server with the process
action, or open an existing configuration that you want to modify.
In the [Session]
section, add a new task by setting the EngineN
parameter. You can give the task any name, for example:
[Session] Engine0=HTTPpost
Create a new configuration section to contain the task settings, and set the following parameters:
Type
|
The output engine to use. Set this parameter to httppost . |
DestinationURL
|
The URL to send the information to. You can include macros in the URL. |
XSLTemplate
|
The path to the XSL template to use to transform records and produce the body of the request. |
Input
|
(Optional) A comma-separated list of the tracks that you want to include in the output. Specify one or more tracks. If you do not set this parameter, the engine includes all tracks that are preset as 'output' tracks. For information about whether a track is considered an 'output' track, refer to documentation for your analysis, encoding, and ESP engines in the Media Server Reference. |
Configure how to combine records into HTTP requests. For information about how you can combine records, see Choose How to Output Data.
Mode=SingleRecord
.Mode=Time
and use the OutputInterval
parameter to specify the amount of video content represented by each document.Mode=Event
and use the EventTrack
parameter to specify the event track.Mode=BoundedEvent
and use the EventTrack
parameter to specify the event track.Mode=AtEnd
.Mode=Page
.Save and close the configuration file. Micro Focus recommends that you save your configuration files in the location specified by the ConfigDirectory
parameter.
Example
The following is an example configuration to send documents to a CFS over HTTP.
