The HTTP service provides functionality for sending HTTP/HTTPS requests through the RPC methods HTTP.GET and HTTP.POST. Also a generic HTTP.Request RPC call is provided which allows sending several HTTP methods.

• HTTP.GET to update the component's
• HTTP.POST to obtain the component's
• HTTP.Request to obtain the component's
