Migrating to the New HTTP Connector - mule

Question

I've upgraded from Mule 3.3.x to 3.6.x and since the old http endpoint is deprecated in 3.6.x I wanted to migrate to the new HTTP connector.
Here is the original code for calling a webservice and healthcheck
Webservice
<http:outbound-endpoint connector-ref="NoSessionConnector"
address="${testmigrationapp.endpoint.url}"
responseTimeout="${testmigrationapp.endpoint.timeout}" keep-alive="true"
responseTransformer-refs="errorHandler">
<jms:transaction action="ALWAYS_JOIN"/>
Healthcheck
<http:inbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" address="${testmigrationapp.healthcheck.address}" doc:name="HTTP"/>
How would I implement this using the new HTTP connector?
Thanks

An HTTP outbound endpoint would translate to an HTTP request. You will need to define a request-config specifying the host, port and persistent connections (because of the keep-alive=true). Then you can replace the outbound endpoint with a request element specifying the URL path and the response timeout. For example:
<http:request-config name="persistentRequestConfig" usePersistentConnections="true" host="example.com" port="80" />
<flow name="persistent">
<http:request config-ref="persistentRequestConfig" path="/" responseTimeout="30" />
</flow>
An HTTP inbound endpoint would translate to an HTTP listener. You will need to define a listener-config specifying the host and port. Then you can replace the inbound endpoint for a listener element specifying the URL path. For example:
<http:listener-config name="listenerConfig" host="0.0.0.0" port="8081"/>
<flow name="testFlow">
<http:listener config-ref="listenerConfig" path="/"/>
<echo-component/>
</flow>
