Before posting this question about Apache NiFi InvokeHTTP and ExtractHttp I have gone through all other questions and their answers but I am still not able to write body. My situation is as below: (1) "GetFile" Processor: gets file which has 2 URLs on separate lines (2) "SplitText" processor: splits the 2 URLs (3) "ExtractText" processor: assigns URL to a property I defined called myUrl (which I use in InvokeHttp - Remote URL property) (4) "InvokeHttp" : I use myUrl in "Remote Url" property. Have set "Send Message Body" as true.

My message body is constant and will not change. But my question is, where/how do I include the message body. How can I include the message body in ExtractText (in point 3 above).

I know that in "GenerateFLowFile" we can include message body in property "Custom Text" and then link this to "InvokeHttp". But in my case I am using ExtractText to invoke "InvokeHttp"

Please please help!

Use a ReplaceText processor to populate the POST body as the flowfile content prior to using InvokeHTTP. If the content is static, you can just replace all the existing content (.*) and replace it with the literal bytes you want to send.
