HTTP Gateway Service

The following table describes the additional fields for the HTTP Gateway service.

The options for the Outbound Transport Settings field in the HTTP Gateway are described in the following table.

Note: If you set the value of max_599_retries less than 1, the value is automatically set to 1. If you set the value of max_599_retries greater than 5, the value is automatically set to 5.

* - The DSG uses the proxy parameters to forward the outgoing requests from DSG through the proxy. The DSG supports any proxy that can handle HTTP CONNECT method for tunnelling HTTPS connections.

The following snippet describes the format for the Outbound Transport Settings field:

{
  "connect\_timeout": 100,
  "request\_timeout": 100,
  "ca\_certs": "/opt/cert.cer",
  "max\_599\_retries": 4
}

In the above example, the connect timeout is set as 100 seconds, the request timeout is set as 100 seconds, and the path for the CA certificate is specified.

The curl is a command-line tool to transfer data between servers. This tool supports protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, DICT, LDAP, TELNET, FILE, and so on. The features supported by curl include user authentication, proxy support, cookies, HTTP post, FTP upload, file transfer resume, SSL connections, and so on.

The Gateway uses curl stack for outbound HTTP transport. You can use the curl options in the Outbound Transport Settings field.

The format for the curl options in the Outbound Transport Settings field is shown in the following example.

In this example, the hostname www.protegrity.com resolves to the IP address 2.10.1.4, while the hostname else.domain.com resolves to the IP address 2.10.2.3. The TCP_NODELAY option is set to 1, indicating that the Nagle algorithm is disabled.

{
  "network\_interface": "ethMNG",
  "validate\_cert": false,
  "options": {
    "RESOLVE": [
      "www.protegrity.com:443:2.10.1.4",
      "else.domain.com:443:2.10.2.3"
    ],
    "TCP\_NODELAY": 1
  }
}
