Overview

The Rest consumer takes incoming messages and forwards them to a http(s) endpoint. It uses an Auth verticle to obtain the Authorization header before posting the payload.

Optionally, before posting, a Mustache template gets applied that transforms the incoming JSON in whatever is required. This allows to POST to HTML forms, SOAP services etc.

The Rest Consumer will use a proxy setting if provided and retry failed connections 10 times in 10 seconds intervals. A connection is considered failed if the response code is not between 200 and 299.

It does not take values back -> that requires a custom verticle
