New HTTP Request : How to see what the call is

justvince — Thu, 08 Jun 2023 16:33:09 GMT

Is there a way to show what the call will be? I would like to debug to be sure what the call is being built as...

E.g., Show(MyRequest)

MyRequest = https://may.api.url/?username=XXX1234567

myAPIURL = "https://my.api.url/"; myRequest = New HTTP Request( URL(myAPIURL), Method("GET"), Headers("username: XXX1234567"); );

Check the scripting index, or use show properties. It looks like there are only two getters of interest before the send:

myAPIURL = "https://my.api.url/";

myRequest = New HTTP Request(
	URL(myAPIURL),
	Method("GET"),
	Headers("username: XXX1234567");
);

showproperties(myRequest);

myRequest<<get last url; // "https://my.api.url/"
myRequest<<get method; // "GET"

Thanks. From what I can find there really is now way to "show" the whole string for the request. Just beginning to learn about API so maybe my want is not a normal request, but just thought it would be good to debug.

I understand why you want to see it. It would make a good wish list item.

I think there are web sites that will echo the request back to you, but I have not played with them.
