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 HeadersAdd 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.

Debug ModeShow relevant debug entries in the server log for debugging purposes.
