Configuring an HTTP Request

  1. Request Panel Components:

    • Utilize the components under the Request panel for configuring your HTTP request.
    • The Request panel is highlighted within the HTTP Client interface.

  3. Additional Configurations:

    • Depending on your needs, you can also configure various aspects of the request:
      • Parameters: Define any query parameters needed for the request.
      • Request Body: If applicable, include a request body with the necessary data.
      • Authentication: Set up authentication details as required.
