> The idea here is that we can receipt an HTTP request and use NiFi, in essence to build a web server graphically. This opens up a wide range of possibilities, by allowing a DFM to easily add a web front-end to any service that NiFi can interact with or to perform any sort of action that NiFi has the ability to perform, such as data format conversion, etc.
> For example, if you want to provide a web-based front-end to an SFTP Server, you could do so by creating a flow like:
> ReceiveHTTPRequest -> PutSFTP -> RespondHTTPRequest
