HTTP Request Triggers
An HTTP Request trigger starts the service when MobileTogether Server receives an HTTP request for the service currently being configured. Here is an example of a such a request:
https://<mt-server-hosting-the-solution>:<client-port>/runservice?d=<path-to-service>&<param1>=<value>
Example: https://localhost:8083/runservice?d=/services/MyService&ipaddress=someAddress
(Note that the URL can contain parameters. How to use URLs and parameters with this trigger is explained in the MobileTogether Designer user manual.)
You can set a time range within which HTTP requests will be accepted, and you can enable or disable the trigger.
The screenshot below illustrates how to define the settings of a HTTP trigger.
The trigger is defined with the help of the following parameters:
•Name: The trigger's name is a string that serves as the trigger's identifier.
•Start, Expires (optional): Defines, respectively, the start and end time of the period within which the service will run.
•Time zone: Specifies the timezone of the values in the Start and Expires fields.
•Enabled: This check box allows you to enable/disable the trigger.
