Web Request

Provides a generic HTTP client for invoking web services that do not require OpenAPI or WSDL metadata. Supports simple REST-style requests for lightweight integrations and utility calls, with support for streaming bodies and optional authentication headers.

Revision History

1.0.0.3 - 2025/12/02 - Initial release.

Setup Notes

  • Use connection-level headers for values shared across requests (for example: Authorization or Content-Type).
  • Configure proxy settings on the connection when routing traffic through an outbound proxy is required.
  • Provide absolute URLs in Path to bypass the base URL when calling external endpoints.

Connection

Username String Username used for Basic authentication when applicable.
