Configuring HTTP parameters

WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express enables you to define HTTP parameters for each participant. You define HTTP configuration parameters using the Manage HTTP page accessed from the Configuration tab navigation bar.

To configure HTTP parameters:

  1. Click the Configuration tab, then click HTTP in the navigation bar. The Manage HTTP page appears.
  2. From the Selected Participants drop-down list, select the participant whose HTTP configuration you want to configure.
  3. Click the Edit button. The Manage HTTP page appears. This page shows the parameters for inbound HTTP documents coming into the system and outbound HTTP documents leaving the system. The Inbound parameters are read-only and can be changed using My Profile on the Configuration tab's navigation bar.
  4. Complete the entries in the Manage HTTP page (see Table 5).
  5. Click the Save button.
  6. To specify HTTP configuration parameters for other participants, repeat steps 2 through 5.
