Terraform can store state remotely at any valid HTTP endpoint.

|

|
||
# http
|
||
|
||
**Kind: Standard (with optional locking)**
|
||
|
||
Stores the state using a simple [REST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer) client.
|
||
|
||
State will be fetched via GET, updated via POST, and purged with DELETE. The method used for updating is configurable.
|
||
|
||
When locking support is enabled it will use LOCK and UNLOCK requests providing the lock info in the body. The endpoint should
|
||
return a 423: Locked or 409: Conflict with the holding lock info when it's already taken, 200: OK for success. Any other status
|
||
will be considered an error. The ID of the holding lock info will be added as a query parameter to state updates requests.
|
||
|
||
## Example Usage
|
||
|
||
```hcl
|
||
terraform {
|
||
backend "http" {
|
||
address = "http://myrest.api.com/foo"
|
||
lock_address = "http://myrest.api.com/foo"
|
||
unlock_address = "http://myrest.api.com/foo"
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Example Referencing
