HTTP adapter
HTTP adapter provides an HTTP API for sending messages through the platform.
Configuration
The service is configured using the environment variables presented in the following table. Note that any unset variables will be replaced with their default values.
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| MF_HTTP_ADAPTER_LOG_LEVEL | Log level for the HTTP Adapter | info |
| MF_HTTP_ADAPTER_PORT | Service HTTP port | 80 |
| MF_BROKER_URL | Message broker instance URL | nats://localhost:4222 |
| MF_HTTP_ADAPTER_CLIENT_TLS | Flag that indicates if TLS should be turned on | false |
| MF_HTTP_ADAPTER_CA_CERTS | Path to trusted CAs in PEM format | |
| MF_JAEGER_URL | Jaeger server URL | localhost:6831 |
| MF_THINGS_AUTH_GRPC_URL | Things service Auth gRPC URL | localhost:7000 |
| MF_THINGS_AUTH_GRPC_TIMEOUT | Things service Auth gRPC request timeout in seconds | 1s |
Deployment
The service itself is distributed as Docker container. Check the http-adapter service section in
docker-compose to see how service is deployed.
To start the service outside of the container, execute the following shell script:
# download the latest version of the service
git clone https://github.com/mainflux/mainflux
cd mainflux
# compile the http
make http
# copy binary to bin
make install
# set the environment variables and run the service
MF_BROKER_URL=[Message broker instance URL] \
MF_HTTP_ADAPTER_LOG_LEVEL=[HTTP Adapter Log Level] \
MF_HTTP_ADAPTER_PORT=[Service HTTP port] \
MF_HTTP_ADAPTER_CA_CERTS=[Path to trusted CAs in PEM format] \
MF_JAEGER_URL=[Jaeger server URL] \
MF_THINGS_AUTH_GRPC_URL=[Things service Auth gRPC URL] \
MF_THINGS_AUTH_GRPC_TIMEOUT=[Things service Auth gRPC request timeout in seconds] \
$GOBIN/mainflux-http
Setting MF_HTTP_ADAPTER_CA_CERTS expects a file in PEM format of trusted CAs. This will enable TLS against the Things gRPC endpoint trusting only those CAs that are provided.
Usage
HTTP Authorization request header contains the credentials to authenticate a Thing. The authorization header can be a plain Thing key or a Thing key encoded as a password for Basic Authentication. In case the Basic Authentication schema is used, the username is ignored. For more information about service capabilities and its usage, please check out the API documentation.
