[jira] [Created] (NIFI-3114) Update ListenHTTP processor documentation

Andy LoPresto created NIFI-3114:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Update ListenHTTP processor documentation
                 Key: NIFI-3114
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3114
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation & Website
    Affects Versions: 1.1.0
            Reporter: Andy LoPresto


The processor documentation for [{{ListenHTTP}}|https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi.processors.standard.ListenHTTP/index.html] describes it as 

bq. Starts an HTTP Server that is used to receive FlowFiles from remote sources. 

# the wording implies that users should use this processor for communication between NiFi instances, when [Site to Site|https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/user-guide.html#site-to-site] offers a more compelling and robust inter-NiFi communication platform. 
# the documentation makes no mention that only the {{POST}} and {{HEAD}} HTTP methods are supported, while {{GET}}, {{PUT}}, and {{DELETE}} will result in a error and the HTTP response status code {{405}}.
