Hello All,
In Ignition 8.3 Event Streams, the HTTP handler successfully sends POST/PUT requests, but there appears to be no way to access the HTTP response (status code, headers, or body) for use later in the stream. The Types of Handlers → HTTP docs list only request‑side properties (URL, method, headers, body, timeouts, cookies) and don’t show any response fields, which implies this isn’t supported: Types of Handlers | Ignition User Manual (see “HTTP”).
The general Event Streams overview also suggests handlers are terminal “do something” steps rather than payload‑transformers, which may be why responses aren’t exposed: Event Streams | Ignition User Manual
Question: Is this by design for 8.3.x? If so, could Inductive consider a feature request to expose statusCode, responseHeaders, and responseBody so we can route based on response outcomes without switching to a Script handler?
Workaround we’re using: Replace the HTTP handler with a Script handler that uses system.net.httpClient() to perform the request and then forward a new event (including the response) via a Gateway Event handler to another stream.
Best regards,
Sri Haran S
