Way to perform a curl?

[Stephen Pietrasko <st...@g2-inc.com>]

All,

Looking for a little help or recommendations. I am trying to pull json from
a file located on a web server. The standard way to pull information off of
this server is to do a curl command. I am trying to automate the curl
process and send the output to ActiveMQ. (I would prefer not to write to a
file).

I have tried GetHTTP and InvokeHTTP but I think my issue is ssl related.
The curl is formatted as:

https://URL?apikey=xxx&risk=40&v=2&method=delta&cat=5&format=json
or
curl –d apikey=xxx –d risk=40 –d v=2 –d method=delta –d cat=5 –d
format=json URL

I have taken a look at the SSL Context Service but I am not using any keys
other than the API Key which is already in the curl.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Steve

Steve,

>From your curl command, it looks like your server is authenticating clients
using the apikey, but when using SSL your NiFi GetHTTP client needs to be
able to authenticate the server's certificate.  You will still need to
configure an SSL Context Service.  However, you only need to configure the
Truststore Filename, Truststore Type and Truststore Password.  You should
make sure that your truststore establishes the proper trust chain for the
server that GetHTTP talks to.

The Keystore properties of an SSL Context Service are required only when
your SSL server authenticates client certificates with 2-way SSL.

Hope this helps,
-- Mike
