HTTP

The HTTP protocol block allows an HTTP request to be created directly from within a process and sent out of a patch defined under Workspace Settings.

Upon receiving an input, the HTTP block will send the request defined within in. (If using variables, this will send a snapshot of the values when the input is triggered).

The Responded output node will send any response received following the request being sent.

  • HTTP Patch - Defined within Workspace Settings.
  • Address - The destination address of the request.
  • Method - The Method, (i.e. GET/POST/PUT/DELETE).
  • Type - The Type, (i.e. text/JSON/XML/HTML).
  • Headers - A field that passes additional context and metadata about the request.
  • Body - The data bytes transmitted in an HTTP transaction message following the headers.

To send multiple commands in quick succession with precise timing, creating an Action is a better option compared to triggering multiple protocol blocks with Delay timers.
