Plugin HttpRetrieverPlugin¶
The HttpRetriever makes a request to a specified url, and stores the result in the "result" column. The typical use of this Plugin would be setting it up to be triggered as a Plugin on Insert, and typically run BEFORE the Insert event. The functionality is then triggered by inserting a url into a staging table, and the Plugin populates a result column.
As of Vinyl 3.1, additional Parameters for Method, Content, ContentType, Proxyurl, Proxyusername and Proxypassword are supported for the HttpRetriever plugin. These are set by matching column names in your table/Business Object. Case does not matter on the param (column) names.
