You are right. I imagine a such transporter requiring the extension "HTTP server" (the extension of this issue). But how configure a such extension ? Can we imagine having two HTTP server, on different port, one for WS-API, and another one for the HTTP transporter ? It should be better to have only one HTTP server. If the HTTP transporter is not used, it will be strange to configure the WS API through the topology.
Have you any idea ?
The configuration of the http server must be reviewed because it is located into the topology.
In my mind, it should be moved in the server.properties because the only available communications between containers are JMX and the remote transporter.
