The HTTP Client Node has two Methods of use. These are HTTP GET and HTTP POST.
HTTP GET creates a request and returns the response within the HTTP protocol. This is very useful when dealing with APIs. A more detailed explanation involving APIs can be found in the See Also section.
Remote IP
User Input
The HTTP endpoint (either a URL or IP address).
Remote Port
Int
The port value. For HTTP, the standard is 80.
Method
Drop-down
Either GET or POST, depending on the goal of the user.
Path
User Input
A specific path from the call being referenced in Remote IP. Usually, this is the text after the main root URL but before the ? character.
Authentication

The user selects Basic when a username and password are required to access the information, otherwise None is chosen.
Default Headers
Add Elements
HTTP headers in the form of key/value pairs.
Request Query

HTTP POST sends data, in this case the information from the Request Body, to the desired server as per the HTTP protocol. More information on the differences between POST and GET can be found in the External Links section. All Attributes and Inputs are the same as those for HTTP GET except for the addition of the following:
