HandleHttpResponse in Data Integration Processors
Sends an HTTP Response to the Requestor that generated a FlowFile. This Processor is designed to be used in conjunction with the HandleHttpRequest in order to create a web service.

| An HTTP header name | An HTTP header value | These HTTPHeaders are set in the HTTP Response |
Relationships:
| Name | Description |
| failure | FlowFiles will be routed to this Relationship if the Processor is unable to respond to the requestor. This may happen, for instance, if the connection times out or if NiFi is restarted before responding to the HTTP Request. |
| success | FlowFiles will be routed to this Relationship after the response has been successfully sent to the requestor |
Reads Attributes:

Usage Description:
The pairing of this Processor with a HandleHttpRequest Processor provides the ability to use NiFi to visually construct a web server that can carry out any functionality that is available through the existing Processors. For example, one could construct a Web-based front end to an SFTP Server by constructing a flow such as:
HandleHttpRequest -> PutSFTP -> HandleHttpResponse
This Processor must be configured with the same
