How to set the POST/PUT/INFO/DELETE/GET to the HTTP producer
The HTTP component provides a way to set the HTTP request method by setting the message header. Here is an example;
new RouteBuilder() {
public void configure() {
from("direct:start")
.setHeader(org.apache.camel.component.http.HttpMethods.HTTP_METHOD, org.apache.camel.component.http.HttpMethods.POST)
.to("http://www.google.com")
.to("mock:results");
}
};
