Article Summary

This is generated from the built in components of BuildMaster 7.0.0, and may be different than what you have installed (especially if you have extensions); go to [User Icon] -> Documentation within your BuildMaster instance to see exactly what operations are available.

HTTP POST to URL

Executes an HTTP POST/PUT/PATCH request to a URL, typically used for RESTful operations.

Script usage:

Post-Http(
	[Method: <integer>],
	[ContentType: <text>],
	[TextData: <text>],
	[FormData: <%(key1: value1, ...)>],
	[LogRequestData: <true/false>],
	Url: <text>,
	[LogResponseBody: <true/false>],
	[ErrorStatusCodes: <text>],
	[ResponseBody: <text>],
	[RequestHeaders: <%(key1: value1, ...)>],
	[MaxResponseLength: <integer>],
	[ProxyRequest: <true/false>],
	[Credentials: <text>],
	[UserName: <text>],
	[Password: <text>],
	[IgnoreSslErrors: <true/false>]
);

This operation may be prefixed with HTTP::, although this is a built-in namespace and isn't really necessary.
