## Example Usage - Target Http Proxy Basic


```hcl
resource "google_compute_target_http_proxy" "default" {
  name        = "test-proxy"
  url_map     = "${google_compute_url_map.default.self_link}"
}

resource "google_compute_url_map" "default" {
  name        = "url-map"
  default_service = "${google_compute_backend_service.default.self_link}"

  host_rule {
    hosts        = ["mysite.com"]
    path_matcher = "allpaths"
  }

  path_matcher {
    name            = "allpaths"
    default_service = "${google_compute_backend_service.default.self_link}"

    path_rule {
      paths   = ["/*"]
      service = "${google_compute_backend_service.default.self_link}"
    }
  }
}

resource "google_compute_backend_service" "default" {
  name        = "backend-service"
  port_name   = "http"
  protocol    = "HTTP"
  timeout_sec = 10

  health_checks = ["${google_compute_http_health_check.default.self_link}"]
}

resource "google_compute_http_health_check" "default" {
  name               = "http-health-check"
  request_path       = "/"
  check_interval_sec = 1
  timeout_sec        = 1
}
```

## Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:


* `name` -
  (Required)
  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.

* `url_map` -
  (Required)
  A reference to the UrlMap resource that defines the mapping from URL
  to the BackendService.


- - -


* `description` -
  (Optional)
  An optional description of this resource.
* `project` - (Optional) The ID of the project in which the resource belongs.
    If it is not provided, the provider project is used.


## Attributes Reference

In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are exported:


* `creation_timestamp` -
  Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.

* `proxy_id` -
  The unique identifier for the resource.
* `self_link` - The URI of the created resource.


## Timeouts

This resource provides the following
[Timeouts](/docs/configuration/resources.html#timeouts) configuration options:

- `create` - Default is 4 minutes.
- `update` - Default is 4 minutes.
- `delete` - Default is 4 minutes.

## Import

TargetHttpProxy can be imported using any of these accepted formats:

```
$ terraform import google_compute_target_http_proxy.default projects/{{project}}/global/targetHttpProxies/{{name}}
$ terraform import google_compute_target_http_proxy.default {{project}}/{{name}}
$ terraform import google_compute_target_http_proxy.default {{name}}
```

-> If you're importing a resource with beta features, make sure to include `-provider=google-beta`
as an argument so that Terraform uses the correct provider to import your resource.
