HTTP (Outbound)
A HTTP Transport is used to connect to a HTTP web server over the Internet or local network. You can send Files to the remote HTTP service. You configure the HTTP Transport with the appropriate details for connecting to the remote service and sending any files.
The HTTP Transport can only be used with appropriate web sites that expect a files as part of a multipart form or as the body of a request. The FlowTransportWeb is compatible with the outbound HTTP Transport. The transport expects to receive a HTTP response of 200 to indicate success. Any other HTTP response is treated as an error.
