Overview
Use 
HTTP Configuration to share settings between different HTTP Actions.
HTTP Configurations work in a similar way to 
Shared Styles, where the settings are inherited from the HTTP Configuration but can be overridden on the HTTP Action.
Properties Tab
Basic Settings
| Field | Description | Example Value |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Name given to the HTTP Configuration. | BankHolidays |
| URL | The URL of the request. Input literal values or expressions encapsulated within ${} syntax, for example URL is concatenated? This URL will be overridden if the HTTP Action URL starts with http, mailto or callto. | https://api.example.com |
Headers
Headers are typically used to specify information for the request, such as character sets, session tokens or passwords. Headers can make use of the Secret Key Details see below. For more information see HTTP Header.
For example,
- Name:
Authorization - Expression:
${_datasource.MyAPIKey}
Secret Key Details
Secret Keys allow sensitive data such as passwords or security tokens to be encrypted and stored in the PhixFlow Database.
Secret keys have a name which they can be referenced by using the syntax ${_datasource.keyName}. For full details on secret keys see Secret Key and Local Secret.
