# http
|
|
|
|
**Kind: Standard (with no 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.
|
|
|
|
## Example Usage
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
terraform {
|
|
backend "http" {
|
|
address = "http://myrest.api.com"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example Referencing
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
data "terraform_remote_state" "foo" {
|
|
backend = "http"
|
|
config {
|
|
address = "http://my.rest.api.com"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
