Static header for PostHTTP/InvokeHTTP processor - NiFi

Question

I am trying to add a static header to my PostHTTP/InvokeHTTP processor.

As I have gone through the documentation and this answer, it seems like we will support only the attributes from the input flowfile of the processor.

I tried adding the header in the below format, in the attribute Attributes to Send as HTTP Headers (Regex) / Attributes to Send . But it didn't workout.

"key:value"

How can I set a static header which is not part of the flowfile?

Answer 1

In InvokeHttp, any user-defined properties will also be sent as headers. Go to the configure screen of InvokeHttp, and on the properties tab, click the + icon in the top right to add a property. Make the name of the property the name of the header and the value of the property the value of the header.
