| POST Parameters | When POST Method is set to "POST Parameters", these parameters will be sent as a UrlEncodedFormEntity. When POST Method is set to "POST Parameters as JSON Payload", these parameters will be sent as a StringEntity in a form of an escaped JSON string. | |
| Custom JSON Payload | Write your own JSON to be the payload. It will be sent as a StringEntity. This option is available only when "Custom JSON Payload" in selected. | |
| Request Headers | Add name(s) and value(s) to the request header. | |
| No Response Expected | Check if no response is expected, so that even if there is a response, this tool will simply ignore it. Using this option will also disable "store to form" and "store to workflow variable" properties. | |
