Demo Function

The Messaging to HTTP Adapter FaaS function which is used in our demo is located in the Adapter/MessagingToHttpAdapter folder. It requires the Cloud Event attributes adapterRequestUrl, adapterRequestMethod and expects messages of the type "httpEnvelop" with the content type "application/json". The HTTP to Messaging Adapter Component produces the right messages. The function executes the HTTP request which is embedded in the message and produces a response message from the HTTP response.
