3.3 Inputting HTTP packets

To perform stream data processing on HTTP packets carried over a network, you use the HTTP packet input connector as the input callback.

This packet input connector extracts HTTP packets from the output of a packet analyzer. The following figure shows the positioning and processing of the callback involved in HTTP packet input.

[Figure]

As shown in the figure, the packet input connector extracts the HTTP packet, and then converts it to a common record data format that the stream data processing engine can handle.
