Connected HTTP services

Connected HTTP Services consist of services used for the implementation of software applications. These services are typically providing functions, data or host access via APIs over the HTTP network protocol.

Tip

The nature and protocol of services that can be attached to workspaces depend on your platform’s implementation.

As it is the case with other types of resources, HTTP services are attached to workspaces during the creation or the update of the workspace’s settings.

Connected HTTP services are defined by the following characteristics:

  • Basic information: Name, scope of use (platform, organization or project), URL and tag.
  • Class Level: This option defines the visibility for the service based on the user’s permissions.
  • Asset Information: This option allows for providing a description of the container.
  • Environment Variable Name: allows access to the service by naming an environment variable.

Add an HTTP Service

Requires the Resources permission set to Manage.

Select Create Service, then provide:

  1. Service Name, a name to identify the service.
  2. External URL, which points to the service location.
  3. Default Path (Optional), appended to the URL when the service is called.
  4. Environment Variable Name, used to name the service inside the workspace environment. It must not contain spaces or special characters.
  5. Trust Self-Signed Certificates, if the service presents a certificate that is not publicly trusted.
  6. Connect HTTP Headers, used to pass authentication data when the service requires it. You can add basic access authentication or custom headers.
  7. Attach Asset Information, used to provide a description of the service.

Select Add HTTP Service to save it.
