> Currently, the GetHTTP Processor does not allow the Expression Language to be used for the URL property. This was done because it is a Source Processor and doesn't have any FlowFiles' attributes to evaluate. However, a very valid use cause would be to reference functions like now(), hostname(), etc. or to reference system properties. We should allow the Expression Language to be used for this purpose.
