For calling out to external HTTP servers using Apache HTTP Client 4.x.

Name Kind Group Required Default Type Enum Description
httpUri path producer true java.net.URI The url of the HTTP endpoint to call.
disableStreamCache parameter common boolean Determines whether or not the raw input stream from Servlet is cached or not (Camel will read the stream into a in memory/overflow to file, Stream caching) cache. By default Camel will cache the Servlet input stream to support reading it multiple times to ensure it Camel can retrieve all data from the stream. However you can set this option to true when you for example need to access the raw stream, such as streaming it directly to a file or other persistent store. DefaultHttpBinding will copy the request input stream into a stream cache and put it into message body if this option is false to support reading the stream multiple times. If you use Servlet to bridge/proxy an endpoint then consider enabling this option to improve performance, in case you do not need to read the message payload multiple times. The http/http4 producer will by default cache the response body stream. If setting this option to true, then the producers will not cache the response body stream but use the response stream as-is as the message body.
async parameter consumer false boolean Configure the consumer to work in async mode
bridgeErrorHandler parameter consumer boolean Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN/ERROR level and ignored.
eagerCheckContentAvailable parameter consumer boolean Whether to eager check whether the HTTP requests has content if the content-length header is 0 or not present. This can be turned on in case HTTP clients do not send streamed data.
httpMethodRestrict parameter consumer java.lang.String Used to only allow consuming if the HttpMethod matches, such as GET/POST/PUT etc. Multiple methods can be specified separated by comma.
matchOnUriPrefix parameter consumer boolean Whether or not the consumer should try to find a target consumer by matching the URI prefix if no exact match is found.
optionsEnabled parameter consumer boolean Specifies whether to enable HTTP OPTIONS for this Servlet consumer. By default OPTIONS is turned off.
responseBufferSize parameter consumer java.lang.Integer To use a custom buffer size on the javax.servlet.ServletResponse.
traceEnabled parameter consumer boolean Specifies whether to enable HTTP TRACE for this Servlet consumer. By default TRACE is turned off.
exceptionHandler parameter consumer (advanced) org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this options is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN/ERROR level and ignored.
exchangePattern parameter consumer (advanced) org.apache.camel.ExchangePattern InOnly
RobustInOnly
InOut
InOptionalOut
OutOnly
RobustOutOnly
OutIn
OutOptionalIn
Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange.
authenticationPreemptive parameter producer boolean If this option is true, camel-http4 sends preemptive basic authentication to the server.
authMethodPriority parameter producer java.lang.String Basic
Digest
NTLM
Authentication method for proxy, either as Basic, Digest or NTLM.
bridgeEndpoint parameter producer boolean If the option is true, HttpProducer will ignore the Exchange.HTTP_URI header, and use the endpoint's URI for request. You may also set the option throwExceptionOnFailure to be false to let the HttpProducer send all the fault response back.
chunked parameter producer true boolean If this option is false the Servlet will disable the HTTP streaming and set the content-length header on the response
clearExpiredCookies parameter producer true boolean Whether to clear expired cookies before sending the HTTP request. This ensures the cookies store does not keep growing by adding new cookies which is newer removed when they are expired.
connectionClose parameter producer false boolean Specifies whether a Connection Close header must be added to HTTP Request. By default connectionClose is false.
cookieStore parameter producer org.apache.http.client.CookieStore To use a custom org.apache.http.client.CookieStore. By default the org.apache.http.impl.client.BasicCookieStore is used which is an in-memory only cookie store. Notice if bridgeEndpoint=true then the cookie store is forced to be a noop cookie store as cookie shouldn't be stored as we are just bridging (eg acting as a proxy).
copyHeaders parameter producer true boolean If this option is true then IN exchange headers will be copied to OUT exchange headers according to copy strategy. Setting this to false, allows to only include the headers from the HTTP response (not propagating IN headers).
headerFilterStrategy parameter producer org.apache.camel.spi.HeaderFilterStrategy To use a custom HeaderFilterStrategy to filter header to and from Camel message.
httpBinding parameter producer org.apache.camel.http.common.HttpBinding To use a custom HttpBinding to control the mapping between Camel message and HttpClient.
ignoreResponseBody parameter producer boolean If this option is true, The http producer won't read response body and cache the input stream
okStatusCodeRange parameter producer 200-299 java.lang.String The status codes which is considered a success response. The values are inclusive. The range must be defined as from-to with the dash included.
preserveHostHeader parameter producer boolean If the option is true, HttpProducer will set the Host header to the value contained in the current exchange Host header, useful in reverse proxy applications where you want the Host header received by the downstream server to reflect the URL called by the upstream client, this allows applications which use the Host header to generate accurate URL's for a proxied service
proxyHost parameter producer java.lang.String The proxy host name
proxyPort parameter producer int The proxy port number
throwExceptionOnFailure parameter producer true boolean Option to disable throwing the HttpOperationFailedException in case of failed responses from the remote server. This allows you to get all responses regardless of the HTTP status code.
transferException parameter producer boolean If enabled and an Exchange failed processing on the consumer side, and if the caused Exception was send back serialized in the response as a application/x-java-serialized-object content type. On the producer side the exception will be deserialized and thrown as is, instead of the HttpOperationFailedException. The caused exception is required to be serialized. This is by default turned off. If you enable this then be aware that Java will deserialize the incoming data from the request to Java and that can be a potential security risk.
urlRewrite parameter producer (advanced) org.apache.camel.http.common.UrlRewrite Refers to a custom org.apache.camel.component.http.UrlRewrite which allows you to rewrite urls when you bridge/proxy endpoints. See more details at http://camel.apache.org/urlrewrite.html
clientBuilder parameter advanced org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClientBuilder Provide access to the http client request parameters used on new {@link RequestConfig} instances used by producers or consumers of this endpoint.
clientConnectionManager parameter advanced org.apache.http.conn.HttpClientConnectionManager To use a custom HttpClientConnectionManager to manage connections
httpClient parameter advanced org.apache.http.client.HttpClient Gets the HttpClient to be used by {@link org.apache.camel.component.http4.HttpProducer}
httpClientConfigurer parameter advanced org.apache.camel.component.http4.HttpClientConfigurer Register a custom configuration strategy for new {@link HttpClient} instances created by producers or consumers such as to configure authentication mechanisms etc
httpClientOptions parameter advanced java.util.Map To configure the HttpClient using the key/values from the Map.
httpContext parameter advanced org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext To use a custom HttpContext instance
mapHttpMessageBody parameter advanced true boolean If this option is true then IN exchange Body of the exchange will be mapped to HTTP body. Setting this to false will avoid the HTTP mapping.
mapHttpMessageFormUrlEncodedBody parameter advanced true boolean If this option is true then IN exchange Form Encoded body of the exchange will be mapped to HTTP. Setting this to false will avoid the HTTP Form Encoded body mapping.
mapHttpMessageHeaders parameter advanced true boolean If this option is true then IN exchange Headers of the exchange will be mapped to HTTP headers. Setting this to false will avoid the HTTP Headers mapping.
synchronous parameter advanced false boolean Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported).
useSystemProperties parameter advanced false boolean To use System Properties as fallback for configuration
