Define an HTTP method such as GET or POST to send a request to a web service
provider.
Before you begin
Role required: web_service_admin
About this task
When you create a REST message record, several default HTTP methods are
automatically created using settings inherited from the REST message record, such as the
Endpoint. Subsequent changes to the REST message record are
not applied to the HTTP methods automatically. You can create additional HTTP methods or
modify the default HTTP methods to implement new behavior.
Procedure
Navigate to All > System Web Services > Outbound > REST Message.
Select a REST message you want to define an HTTP method for.
In the HTTP Methods related list, click
New.
Select the HTTP method you want to use, such as GET or
POST.
Enter the Endpoint this HTTP method should access.
The endpoint value may include variables using the format
${variable}.
Right-click the form header and select Save.
What to do next
After creating the HTTP method, you can override the security settings from the
parent REST message, configure HTTP headers, add variables, or test the method. For PUT,
POST, and PATCH methods you can define a message body.
