REST HTTP Request

Use the REST HTTP Request tool to send a request to an external REST service. You can optionally use client certificates with this tool. The REST HTTP Request tool:

• Expects the certificate file to exist in a specific directory: I3\IC\Certificates\REST. Create the  I3\IC\Certificates\REST directory if it does not exist. The I3\IC\Certificates\REST directory is not created by default.  
  
  Use the CertTrustU.exe to install a client certificate. The certificate must be in PEM format. For more information, see PureConnect Security Features Technical Reference in the PureConnect Documentation Library.

• Supports many concurrent requests.

• Does not use the Windows Certificate store to check for validity of the certificate.

• Uses openssl to do the verification.
