Adapter requests and responses for the HTTP adapter

This section describes the requests and responses of the HTTP adapter for the following actions:

• Get
• Post
• Put

• Delete The HTTP adapter supports both <httpAdapterRequest> and <http-adapter-request> tags for an adapter request; however, only the <httpAdapterResponse> tag is supported for an adapter response.
  
  BMC recommends that you use the <httpAdapterRequest> root tag for the adapter request.

  Note

  Starting with the 20.12.02 release, the HTTP adapter supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) for directing internet traffic and for routing. For details, see Support for IPv6. The adapter however, does not support NTLM authentication for a proxy interface using IPv6.

  You can specify an IPv6 address with a zone ID for the <action> element in the adapter requests—for example, 

  <action>
  http://[fe80::5097:4c5e:2289:76dd%4]:8080/httpclientoperations/HttpClientServlet
  </action>

   You must specify the IPv6 address in square brackets ([ ]). To find the zone ID of the required computer, see Zone ID for an IPv6 address.
  
  For an HTTP adapter request, the IPv6 string literal format is only supported in a Microsoft Windows-based environment. For details about string literal formats, see http://ipv6-literal.com. 

  Note

  Windows-based environment:The adapter is enabled on a Windows-based computer and the specified target IP address is also for a Windows-based computer.
