SimpleHttpOperator Missing from Standard Providers

Versions of Apache Airflow Providers

The SimpleHttpOperator seems to be missing from the standard providers, but the documentation says it should be included. If this is a documentation error then can the documentation be updated to let us know where to find this Operator? Is it deprecated?

Apache Airflow version

Operating System

Deployment

Deployment details

Customer Airflow Deployment on Kubernetes on Debian and Python 3.9. Currently upgrading from 2.10 to 3.0.1

What happened

We aren't finding the SimpleHttpOperator in the standard providers

What you think should happen instead

The SimpleHttpOperator should be in the standard providers, or the documentation should indicate where to find this operator, or documentation should say it's deprecated and hopefully let us know if there's an alternative

How to reproduce

Pull down airflow locally and search this after allowing regex searches - Class \b(PythonOperator|SimpleHttpOperator)\b

you will see the PythonOperator in the standard provider, but the simple http operator is missing

Anything else

I've never committed to open source code. I would be willing to do a PR but I'm very unfamiliar with Airflow's codebase.

Are you willing to submit PR?

hm thats wrong reference, it needs doc update would you like to update doc? it would be good contribution :)

[dadonnelly316]

yes I can take a crack at it - after searching the codebase I now see a comment saying airflow.providers.http.operators.http.SimpleHttpOperator was removed and airflow.providers.http.operators.http.HttpOperator should be used instead. I can try a doc update

@dadonnelly316 assigning it to you.

#50740 - I will commit the reproducible_build.yaml. First I want to validate that error I'm getting in the "Check top-level breeze deps." check is due to a configuration error in my local environment and not due to the documentation change.

I've created a PR. It is ready to merge if someone can review @amoghrajesh @gopidesupavan

Hello @gopidesupavan , @amoghrajesh ,
Regarding this issue, I understand that SimpleHttpOperator is migrated to HttpOperator so its import will change in the new version. But currently our application uses 2.10.0 version. Will Airflow provide backward compatibility support for this version and also will it support if there is any vulnerability reported in future or not?

Till now I have gone through the below articles:
Upgrading Minimum Supported Version of Airflow

Security Patch Releases

Yes. Those doc explain our policies and we follow them - including for how long compatibility is provided. BTW. If you are worried about bugfixes and compatibility support staying on 2.10.0 is probably a bad idea because airflow is on 2.11.0 now and you should upgrade. There are probably couple of tens of bugfixes and security fixes implemented since 2.10.0 - and even if you are slower in upgrading to minor versions - patchlevel versions only contain bugfixes and security fixes and staying on 2.10.0 when there is 2.10.5 means that no matter how Airflow PMC work hard on providing bugfixes, you still have not taken advantage of it.

Thank you @potiuk this was helpful
