Class HTTPService
Represents an HTTP Service.
The HTTP Service will use the return value of the createRequest callback as the request body (if supported by the
HTTP method). If this is an array of non-null HTTPRequestPart objects, then a multi-part request will
be formed. Otherwise the object is converted to a String and used.
See also XML.toXMLString() and JSON.stringify(Object) , which must be
explicitly called if needed.

Method Details
addHeader(name: String , val: String ): HTTPService
Adds an HTTP Header.
Parameters:
name - Header name.
val - Header value.
Returns:
addParam(String, String)
addParam(name: String , val: String ): HTTPService
Adds a query parameter that will be appended to the URL.
Parameters:
name - Parameter name.
val - Parameter value.
Returns:
getAuthentication()
getAuthentication(): String
Returns the authentication type.
Returns:
getCachingTTL()
getCachingTTL(): Number
Returns the caching time to live value.
Returns:
The caching time to live value in seconds.
See Also:
getClient()
getClient(): HTTPClient
Returns the underlying HTTP client object.
Returns:
getEncoding()
getEncoding(): String
Returns the request body encoding to declare.
Returns:
getHostNameVerification()
getHostNameVerification(): Boolean
Determines whether host name verification is enabled.
Returns:
true if verification is enabled, false otherwise
getIdentity()
getIdentity(): KeyRef
Gets the identity used for mutual TLS (mTLS).
Returns:
Reference to the private key, or null if not configured
getOutFile()
getOutFile(): File
Returns the output file, or null if there is none.
Returns:
getRequestMethod()
getRequestMethod(): String
Returns the request method.
Returns:
setAuthentication(String)
setAuthentication(authentication: String ): HTTPService
Sets the type of authentication. Valid values include "BASIC" and "NONE".
The default value is BASIC.
Parameters:
authentication - Type of authentication.
Returns:
setCachingTTL(Number)
setCachingTTL(ttl: Number ): HTTPService
Enables caching for GET requests.
This only caches status codes 2xx with a content length and size of less than 50k that are not immediately
written to file. The URL and the user name are used as cache keys. The total size of cacheable content and the
number of cached items is limited and automatically managed by the system.
Cache control information sent by the remote server is ignored.
Caching HTTP responses should be done very carefully. It is important to ensure that the response really depends
only on the URL and doesn't contain any remote state information or time information which is independent of the
URL. It is also important to verify that the application sends exactly the same URL multiple times.
Parameters:
ttl - The time to live for the cached content in seconds. A value of 0 disables caching.
See Also:
setEncoding(String)
setEncoding(encoding: String ): HTTPService
Sets the encoding of the request body (if any).
The default value is UTF-8.
Parameters:
encoding - Encoding of the request body.
Returns:
setHostNameVerification(Boolean)
setHostNameVerification(enable: Boolean ): HTTPService
Sets whether certificate host name verification is enabled.
The default value is true. Set it to false to disable host name verification.
Parameters:
enable - true to enable host name verification or false to disable it.
Returns:
setIdentity(KeyRef)
setIdentity(keyRef: KeyRef ): HTTPService
Sets the identity (private key) to use when mutual TLS (mTLS) is configured.
If this is not set and mTLS is used then the private key will be chosen from the key store based on the host
name.
If this is set to a reference named "__NONE__" then no private key will be used even if one is requested by the remote server.
Parameters:
keyRef - Reference to the private key
setOutFile(File)
setOutFile(outFile: File ): HTTPService
Sets the output file in which to write the HTTP response body.
The default behavior is to not write a file.
Parameters:
outFile - Output file, or null to disable.
Returns:
setRequestMethod(String)
setRequestMethod(requestMethod: String ): HTTPService
Sets the HTTP request method.
Valid values include GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE.
The default value is POST.
Parameters:
requestMethod - HTTP request method.
Returns:
