We have started using Jitterbit. Thanks for the pretty good product.
Can anyone tell me what is the use of HTTP End Point ?
It is used for request or response ?
I believe it is used for only response. When external system send Response to us calling our HTTP end point, we will use the response data and process the operation.
Or else external server will request calling our HTTP End point, we will process the request using many operation .
HTTP endpoint is used to call the Jitterbit Server Endpoint
Let me explain...
Using Jitterbit you have called a webservice (External Source). You got the response same time. Here request and response used same http session.
You are expecting some response from external source after 2 days. You must have some listenerin the Jitterbit server. That listener will kick-in you jitterbit operations.
Ex:- External source will call below URL.
http://www.yourjitterbitsername:46908/endpoint
www.yourjitterbitsername :- Your jitterbit server
46908 : port number
endpoint :- Jitterbit Endpoint.
When external source hit the URL, it executes the corresponding Jitterbit Operation that you have mesnioned in the Http Endpoint synchronously or asynchronously. (You can do in settings)
You can store the request variable in to the jitterbit global variable. Request variable means, the request external source is requesting to the jitterbit server.

I need to prepare a Java test (citrus framework) which initial step is sending a http request. Unfortunately my app under tests does not reply to this http request with anything while my testing framework expects to have a response and generates an error otherwise. The best way to deal with such a situation which came to my mind is to use some kind of a proxy between my testing framework and actual application which will forward the test request to the actual application and reply back to the testing framework with OK status not waiting for the response from app.
Does it make a sense? How could I prepare such a proxy assuming that my tests are to be running with maven invocation?
I see following options:
Fire and forget: send the Http request (using the fork mode on the send operation in Citrus) and do not care for the response at all. Just leave out the receive message action to ignore the response in Citrus.
Expect the timeout: Send the Http request and use the receive timeout action to verify that the client does not receive a response in the given time
Assert/catch the timeout exception: Use the assert or catch action in Citrus to handle the timeout exception when sending the http request
Personally I would go for the option #2 where you send the Http request and verify that there is no response for a given amount of time. This makes sure that the actual behavior of your application to not send any response does not change over time.
When writing an HTTP server using akka-http’s high-level Route API, is there a way to be notified that the request timeout has expired, or to check whether it is expired, or to check how much time remains? In implementing an expensive route, I would like to stop performing work on a request if the request times out.
Akka-http’s request timeout responds to HTTP requests with status code 503 Service Unavailable: “The server was not able to produce a timely response to your request.
Please try again in a short while!” It is configured using akka.http.server.request-timeout, which is 20 s by default.
When the Apache server receives a POST request, I want to immediately send back a response, stating that the client should wait and not send anything.
While at the same time client's request will be passed on to a script (either PHP or Perl). And then the script will send back a response to the client.
Is this possible? I know that it is possible for Apache to send a 4xx response header, so that the client would stop sending. But I want to run a script while the client has stopped sending and then have the client redirect to somewhere..
There are a few HTTP status codes that may be of use IF you want to be fully REST-ful and use the HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc) and status codes
https://www.restapitutorial.com/httpstatuscodes.html
In particular for what I am interpreting as your use case, status code 202 Accepted may be correct for your use:
The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has
not been completed. The request might or might not eventually be acted
upon, as it might be disallowed when processing actually takes place.
There is no facility for re-sending a status code from an asynchronous
operation such as this.
The 202 response is intentionally non-committal. Its purpose is to
allow a server to accept a request for some other process (perhaps a
batch-oriented process that is only run once per day) without
requiring that the user agent's connection to the server persist until
the process is completed. The entity returned with this response
SHOULD include an indication of the request's current status and
either a pointer to a status monitor or some estimate of when the user
can expect the request to be fulfilled.
Consider below scenario:
Client --> Call1 ---> Server
Client <--- Response1 <--- Server
Client processes the response and makes another call
Client --> Call2 ---> Server
Client <--- Response2 <--- Server
Client processes the response and makes another call
Client --> Call3 ---> Server
Client <--- Response3 <--- Server
For above scenario, which tools should I use to make the calls, process the response and measure the response time for the server calls.
Does SOASTA has this capability or any other tool?
What are the things I should keep in mind when doing this?
Without any code changes, you can use Runscope to log and measure API calls. From the Traffic Inspector, click on URL Builder. Enter the URL of the API that you're calling, and you'll see a Runscopified URL below it. Any call that you make to the Runscopified URL will proxy through Runscope to the original destination URL.
In Traffic Inspector, you'll see the HTTP traffic appear, showing you the details of each request (request headers/body/params, response headers/body, status codes, response times, etc.) Again, no need to change any code -- just your request URL, and you'll have full visibility into your API traffic between your client and server.
I'm developing a new module in Chromium solution, in which I want to create and send a request to specific server. I've tried to implement this in many way: call Send() method of URL request directly, use URL fetcher, send via IPC route... but no one could be successful.
