Method: targetHttpsProxies.insert

Creates a TargetHttpsProxy resource in the specified project using the data included in the request.

HTTP request

POST https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/beta/projects/{project}/global/targetHttpsProxies

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
project

string

Project ID for this request.

Query parameters

Parameters
requestId

string

An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

Request body

The request body contains data with the following structure:

}
Fields
kind

string

[Output Only] Type of resource. Always compute#targetHttpsProxy for target HTTPS proxies.

id

string (uint64 format)

[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.

creationTimestamp

string

[Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.

name

string

Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.

description

string

An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.

urlMap

string

A fully-qualified or valid partial URL to the UrlMap resource that defines the mapping from URL to the BackendService. For example, the following are all valid URLs for specifying a URL map:

Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource urlMap:

  • compute.urlMaps.use
sslCertificates[]

string

URLs to SslCertificate resources that are used to authenticate connections between users and the load balancer. At least one SSL certificate must be specified. SslCertificates do not apply when the load balancing scheme is set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.

The URLs should refer to a SSL Certificate resource or Certificate Manager Certificate resource. Mixing Classic Certificates and Certificate Manager Certificates is not allowed. Certificate Manager Certificates must include the certificatemanager API. Certificate Manager Certificates are not supported by Global external Application Load Balancer or Classic Application Load Balancer, use certificateMap instead.

Currently, you may specify up to 15 Classic SSL Certificates.

Certificate Manager Certificates accepted formats are:

Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource sslCertificates:

  • compute.sslCertificates.get
certificateMap

string

URL of a certificate map that identifies a certificate map associated with the given target proxy. This field can only be set for Global external Application Load Balancer or Classic Application Load Balancer. For other products use Certificate Manager Certificates instead.

If set, sslCertificates will be ignored.

Accepted format is //certificatemanager.googleapis.com/projects/{project}/locations/{location}/certificateMaps/{resourceName}.

Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource certificateMap:

  • certificatemanager.certmaps.use
quicOverride

enum

Specifies the QUIC override policy for this TargetHttpsProxy resource. This setting determines whether the load balancer attempts to negotiate QUIC with clients. You can specify NONE, ENABLE, or DISABLE.

  • When quic-override is set to NONE, Google manages whether QUIC is used.
  • When quic-override is set to ENABLE, the load balancer uses QUIC when possible.
  • When quic-override is set to DISABLE, the load balancer doesn't use QUIC.
  • If the quic-override flag is not specified, NONE is implied.

sslPolicy

string

URL of SslPolicy resource that will be associated with the TargetHttpsProxy resource. If not set, the TargetHttpsProxy resource has no SSL policy configured.

Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource sslPolicy:

  • compute.sslPolicies.use
region

string

[Output Only] URL of the region where the regional TargetHttpsProxy resides. This field is not applicable to global TargetHttpsProxies.

proxyBind

boolean

This field only applies when the forwarding rule that references this target proxy has a loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.

When this field is set to true, Envoy proxies set up inbound traffic interception and bind to the IP address and port specified in the forwarding rule. This is generally useful when using Traffic Director to configure Envoy as a gateway or middle proxy (in other words, not a sidecar proxy). The Envoy proxy listens for inbound requests and handles requests when it receives them.

The default is false.

httpFilters[]

string

URLs to networkservices.HttpFilter resources enabled for xDS clients using this configuration. For example, https://networkservices.googleapis.com/beta/projects/project/locations/location/httpFilters/httpFilter Only filters that handle outbound connection and stream events may be specified. These filters work in conjunction with a default set of HTTP filters that may already be configured by Traffic Director. Traffic Director will determine the final location of these filters within xDS configuration based on the name of the HTTP filter. If Traffic Director positions multiple filters at the same location, those filters will be in the same order as specified in this list.

httpFilters only applies for loadbalancers with loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED. See ForwardingRule for more details.

Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource httpFilters:

  • networkservices.httpFilters.use
serverTlsPolicy

string

Optional. A URL referring to a networksecurity.ServerTlsPolicy resource that describes how the proxy should authenticate inbound traffic.

serverTlsPolicy only applies to a global TargetHttpsProxy attached to globalForwardingRules with the loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED or EXTERNAL or EXTERNAL_MANAGED. For details which ServerTlsPolicy resources are accepted with INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED and which with EXTERNAL, EXTERNAL_MANAGED loadBalancingScheme consult ServerTlsPolicy documentation.

If left blank, communications are not encrypted.

Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource serverTlsPolicy:

  • networksecurity.serverTlsPolicies.use
authentication
(deprecated)

string

[Deprecated] Use serverTlsPolicy instead.

authorizationPolicy

string

Optional. A URL referring to a networksecurity.AuthorizationPolicy resource that describes how the proxy should authorize inbound traffic. If left blank, access will not be restricted by an authorization policy.

Refer to the AuthorizationPolicy resource for additional details.

authorizationPolicy only applies to a global TargetHttpsProxy attached to globalForwardingRules with the loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.

Note: This field currently has no impact.

Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource authorizationPolicy:

  • networksecurity.authorizationPolicies.use
authorization
(deprecated)

string

[Deprecated] Use authorizationPolicy instead.

fingerprint

string (bytes format)

Fingerprint of this resource. A hash of the contents stored in this object. This field is used in optimistic locking. This field will be ignored when inserting a TargetHttpsProxy. An up-to-date fingerprint must be provided in order to patch the TargetHttpsProxy; otherwise, the request will fail with error 412 conditionNotMet. To see the latest fingerprint, make a get() request to retrieve the TargetHttpsProxy.

A base64-encoded string.

httpKeepAliveTimeoutSec

integer

Specifies how long to keep a connection open, after completing a response, while there is no matching traffic (in seconds). If an HTTP keep-alive is not specified, a default value (610 seconds) will be used.

For global external Application Load Balancers, the minimum allowed value is 5 seconds and the maximum allowed value is 1200 seconds.

For classic Application Load Balancers, this option is not supported.

tlsEarlyData

enum

Specifies whether TLS 1.3 0-RTT Data ("Early Data") should be accepted for this service. Early Data allows a TLS resumption handshake to include the initial application payload (a HTTP request) alongside the handshake, reducing the effective round trips to "zero". This applies to TLS 1.3 connections over TCP (HTTP/2) as well as over UDP (QUIC/h3).

This can improve application performance, especially on networks where interruptions may be common, such as on mobile.

Requests with Early Data will have the "Early-Data" HTTP header set on the request, with a value of "1", to allow the backend to determine whether Early Data was included.

Note: TLS Early Data may allow requests to be replayed, as the data is sent to the backend before the handshake has fully completed. Applications that allow idempotent HTTP methods to make non-idempotent changes, such as a GET request updating a database, should not accept Early Data on those requests, and reject requests with the "Early-Data: 1" HTTP header by returning a HTTP 425 (Too Early) status code, in order to remain RFC compliant.

The default value is DISABLED.

Response body

Represents an Operation resource.

Google Compute Engine has three Operation resources:

You can use an operation resource to manage asynchronous API requests. For more information, read Handling API responses.

Operations can be global, regional or zonal.

  • For global operations, use the globalOperations resource.
  • For regional operations, use the regionOperations resource.
  • For zonal operations, use the zoneOperations resource.

For more information, read Global, Regional, and Zonal Resources.

Note that completed Operation resources have a limited retention period.

If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:
