Configure HTTP input

HTTP input retrieves content into the Transport/file runtime context.

SettingDefaultEffect/quirk
Host/URLEmptyTag-processed endpoint. Constrain dynamic host/path values to approved destinations.
Receive methodGETHTTP method used for retrieval. Test the exact server contract.
HeadersEmptyCustom names/values, tag-processed at runtime. Never log or document live authorisation tokens.
Protocol versionHTTP/1.1HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1 in the current component.
Handle redirectsSelectedControls supported redirect handling. Validate final host, method/body behaviour and credential forwarding.
Follow locationSelectedPersisted but its assignment is commented out in the reviewed initialisation path; do not rely on it without a test.
After receivingNothingThe current enum exposes only no post-receive action.
Connect / read timeout15 / 0Connect seconds are converted to milliseconds in the HTTP wrapper; verify read-timeout zero semantics.

Configure authentication/TLS on the shared settings page. Test success, 4xx/5xx, redirects to an unapproved host, invalid/untrusted/wrong-host certificates, timeout after server processing, large/invalid content and retry correlation. Peer-verification checkboxes alone are not sufficient evidence because reviewed generic verification callbacks can accept the library result unconditionally.
