There are four elements to a HTTP preset:

  • URL: The URL or IP address to send the request to - for GET requests you can also put URL parameters in here
  • Method: The HTTP method to use (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE supported)
  • Data: The body of the request - this can be blank
  • Headers: Any headers to send with the request - this can be blank

The default timeout for requests is 60 seconds, this cannot currently be changed.
