# Receiving HTTP POSTs

The Rekor Scout® Agent can be configured to send HTTP POSTs to your HTTP server. To enable this option, set the following parameters in `/etc/openalpr/alprd.conf`:

```
upload_data = 1
upload_address = [your HTTP server endpoint]
websockets_enabled = 0
web_server_enabled = 1
```

In addition, you must add a valid on-premises license to `/etc/openalpr/license.conf`

Once updated, restart the Rekor Scout Agent service to allow the settings to take effect. As plates are recognized, the JSON data described in this section will be sent to your HTTP server as an HTTP POST.
