HTTP(S) Handler

The HTTP(S) handler imports a properly formatted requisition definition from an XML document served by a remote web server.

Configure HTTP(S) requisition

Prior to Horizon 30, you set external requisitions in the provisiond-configuration.xml file. This file is no longer available. You must use the UI or the config management REST API to configure an external requisition.

To configure an HTTP(S) requisition, follow the steps in Create an external requisition, but specify HTTP or HTTPS as the type, set the host, path, schedule, and rescan behavior.

Examples

Simple

http://myinventory.server.org/nodes.cgi

https://myinventory.server.org/nodes.cgi

Using the generic handler

requisition://http?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmyinventory.server.org%2Fnodes.cgi

requisition://https?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmyinventory.server.org%2Fnodes.cgi
When using the generic handler, the address should be URL encoded.
