The HTTP listener connector allows content to be pushed to Aspire via HTTP. It listens on a configurable endpoint on the Aspire port. Content received is turned in to an Aspire job which is then sent to a workflow processor from where modifcations may be made to the data, or it could be published to (say) a search engine using one of the available Aspire Publishers. Once workflow processing is complete, the data is returned to the called via an optional XSL transform .
