HttpGetValve
Warning
This valve is deprecated - it is recommended to avoid usage of this valve.
Warning
This valve is blocking - this may hurt throughput and cause performance issues since other pipes won't be able to execute while this valve is waiting on a long-running operation in the same instance of the pipes module, for example due to a network request, disk access or similar. Try to limit the usage of blocking valves, try to ensure that they are fast to execute, and if needed, consider deploying multiple instances of the pipes module.
