# HTTP Connection Reference

The HTTP Connection resource describes the characteristics of the connection used to receive incoming HTTP requests. This section provides a reference to the fields. For procedures see Adding a Shared Resource.

The HTTP Connection resource can specify that the HTTPS (secure sockets layer or SSL) protocol must be used by clients. If this is enabled, you can configure the SSL parameters for the HTTP server using the Configure SSL Button. See SSL Configuration for more information.

Warning: If you have multiple HTTP Connection resources specified by multiple HTTP Receiver process starters, the HTTP servers require that all of the connections must be valid to initialize all HTTP Receivers. Therefore, make certain that all HTTP Connection resources have valid configurations before testing or deploying the project.

The HTTP connection editor have the following fields.

Field | Global Var? | Description
--- | --- | ---
Wizard
File Name | No | The name to appear as the label for the resource. Names follow Java variable naming restrictions. Do not use any reserved words. Names must be unique within a folder. See Identifier Naming Requirements. Unlike other resource identifiers, however, shared resource identifiers can have spaces in the name. This field appears on the New HTTP Connection Wizard. The name then appears in the title of the resource.
Configuration
Description | Yes | Short description of the resource.
Host | Yes | Specifies the name of the host that accepts the incoming requests. For machines that have only one network card, the default value `localhost` specifies the current machine. For machines that have more than one network card, this field specifies the host name of the card that are used to accept incoming HTTP requests. Note: Only one HTTP server can be started on each port. Therefore, if you have a machine with multiple network cards, make certain that all HTTP Connection resources that use the same host name specify different port numbers. Note: If there is more than one network card on the machine, and you specify `localhost` in this field, then all network cards on the machine listen for incoming HTTP requests on the specified port.
Port | Yes | Port number on which to listen for incoming HTTP requests.
Use SSL | No | Specifies whether incoming requests must use the HTTPS (secure socket layer, or SSL) protocol. This protocol authenticates the server to the client, and optionally authenticates the client to the server. By enabling this field you can specify SSL parameters with the Configure SSL button (see SSL Configuration ).
