I want to filter on patient and can’t get the thread to run that query.

But in this case, the full URL with parameter worked if there was no authentication, and the authentication failed if it was provided. It seems to me that the full url wasn’t an issue until basic authentication was applied. So the question I’m wondering about is why does the…Read more

The http-client allows a setting for anonymous mode when selecting https (with SSL protocol defaulted to All), and with no settings for certificate. I didn’t really notice it at the time as it was the default.

The GET is being used to retrieve data from the db via the API.

I am able to use the http-client thread because the data is formatted in xml, which that thread handles gracefully. It doesn’t handle JSON at all.

The GET is called on the first thread in the process, the result message should get written to/passed to a second (file) thread. So in that sense it may be inbound. I’ve attached a screenshot.
