  • An HTTP request must be instantiated via create http request before calling this built-in action.
  • Refer to here for syntax and semantics of all standard HTTP header fields. In general, each header field consists of a name followed by a colon (":") and the field value.
  • This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string <ignore> is present as the value of any of the arguments, or any argument contains an expression that evaluates to <ignore>, the action is skipped during execution.
