It is a good practice to respond to the incoming event with an outgoing event to complete the HTTP request-response cycle. The event-sending client is the HTML form in the readme for the example project. In this task, you add a rule function to use as a preprocessor to respond to the incoming event with the same event.
Procedure
Right click the RuleFunctions folder, and select New > Rule Function
In the Filename field, type PreProcessor. Click Finish.
In the rule function source editor replace the text with the following text and save the resource:
/**
* @description Closes requests from the HTTP server
*/
void rulefunction RuleFunctions.PreProcessor {
attribute {
validity = ACTION;
}
scope {
Event request;
}
body {
// Replies to the request event, in order to close the HTTP request.
// To keep it simple, uses the request event as the response.
Event.replyEvent(request, request);
}
}
