Save the HTTP response to a file

We often need to save the content of an HTTP response to a file, for example, if we want to parse it later. 

To save response to a file, enter the name of the file in the Response File Name field when configuring the HTTP Connection. For example: {app.data}/response.json. This will create the actual file in the home folder, and the name of the file will be response_uuid.json. You can use token {app.data} as a part of the response file name. {app.data} is the home folder.

You can also use the token {destination} as part of the Response File Name. The {destination} token will be automatically replaced for the value provided in the TO field of the file management operation or source to destination transformation.

For example:

• Response File Name: {app.data}/response/{destination}
• TO: replace(_processing.xml, _response.json)
• Source file: order_processing.xml

The response file will be created in the home folder and will have the name order_response.json.

you can configure an HTTP Connection to create a response file only if the HTTP request was executed with an error. Just enable the option Save Response only on Error.
