Connector HTTP
Connector HTTP allows you to use the data stored under the URL address in your data flow.
Features
HTTP Basic authentication
Use HTTP Basic authentication to store your username and password. Through Basic authentication, you will be able to log in to the website through the URL address.
In order to do it, you need to insert your username and password in the URL http://username:password@example.com/
For example, to download the file from the Dropbox account, you need to know the link to the files you wish to download, Dropbox login and password.
For login Meiro
, password Meiro12345
and link: dropbox.com/class/archive.csv
, URL would look like
https://Meiro:Meiro12345@dropbox.com/class/archive.csv
For this example the parameters of your HTTP configurations will look like this:
Host: https://Meiro:Meiro12345@dropbox.com
Path: /class/archive.csv
In this way, you will log in to your Dropbox account through your URL and download CSV files directly to your Data Out bucket.
