In this article, we will set up an HTTP connector and will work with the listener configurations to build a simple HTTP service to return a static message as the response. The Anypoint studio version used will be version 7.6 and the mule run time version will be 4.3 for this demonstration and better to use the same version of Anypoint studio and mule run time if in case you are planning to try out to build the project. Setting up a simple HTTP service: launch the Anypoint studio application and create a new mule project by traversing the below path File -> New -> Mule project Enter the project name as „HTTP-listener-project“ and select the run time version of the mule as 4.3 (Please note, in my current setup I have only the run time version 4.3 installed. If in case multiple run time versions are installed please make sure to select version 4.3). Please click the finish button to continue. The new project is created and from the Mule palette on the right side, use the „add module“ option to add the HTTP connector to the palette by dragging the HTTP connector. When the HTTP connector in the Mule palette is clicked, the four components of the HTTP connector is displayed In this demonstration, the configuration setup of the Listener component will be explained so drag the listener component to the canvas First, let us change the display name of the listener component from the default name of „Listener“ to „First Listener“ and also set up the „Connector Configuration“ under the General -> Basic Settings by clicking the „+“ symbol Now let’s change the name of the connector configuration from the default name of „HTTP_Listener_config“ to „First_HTTP_Listener_config“ and also change the configuration for „Host“ as „Localhost“ from the default value „All Interfaces [0.
