HTTP Connection Manager Editor (Server Page)

Use the Server tab of the HTTP Connection Manager Editor dialog box to configure the HTTP Connection Manager by specifying properties such as the URL and security credentials. An HTTP connection enables a package to access a Web server by using HTTP to send or receive files. After configuring the HTTP Connection Manager, you can also test the connection.

Important

The HTTP connection manager supports only anonymous authentication and basic authentication. It does not support Windows Authentication.
