Configure HTTP Request Headers

This topic applies to MashZone NextGen 3.9 and higher.

REST, or REpresentational STate web services, are web services available via HTTP or HTTPS that use several HTTP methods to invoke service operations and pass input parameters.

See REST Web Services for more information.

If you register a new REST Web Service in the MashZone NextGen Hub then you can specify HTTP Request Headers optionally.
