             Summary: Build Processors that allow for receiving and responding to arbitrary HTTP requests
                 Key: NIFI-221
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-221
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Extensions
            Reporter: Mark Payne
            Assignee: Mark Payne


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
