Use the AS4 tab to specify values for HTTP-specific parameters.
- Outbound

transfers.
- Command

operation and GET will initiate a pull operation.
- Method
- Specifies the HTTP verb to be used. The only valid Method for
AS4 commands is POST.
- Path
- The server Path for the command.
- If the remote server is also using the VersaLex
application, the path should be /as4. The resource
path must be properly specified in order for your trading partner’s system to process
messages from you. Given the URL provided by your remote trading partner in the
form:
http(s)://remote-host:port/resource-path?optional-parameters
Enter
the bolded portion in this field (if it was supplied).
- Parameters
- By default, no Parameters are specified for sending AS4
messages. If parameters are required, they must be obtained from your trading partner
when the trading relationship is established. Given the URL provided by your remote
trading partner in the
form:
http(s)://remote-host:port/resource-path?optional-parameters
Enter the bolded portion in this field (if it was supplied).
- Headers
-
The Header fields are filled in at the Mailbox level and
specify values to be set in the HTTP headers that precede the body (actual content) of
the message to be sent.
The following Header can optionally be specified when sending
AS4 messages:
- Content-Type - specifies the format of the message being
sent and is used by the sending and receiving applications to properly assemble and
parse the message.
AS4
template hosts provide options of four different content-types:
application/octet-stream,
application/xml, text/xml, and
text/plain. It is recommended that you set this type
(through the mailbox HTTP tab) according to the payload type.
If the payload type is unknown, a content-type setting of
application/octet-stream is recommended as it generally
represents all types of data. If this optional parameter is not specified, then a
default is determined based on whether SOAP with Attachments (SwA) packaging
(application/octet-stream) or <Body>
payload (text/xml) is being used.
