Send HTTP Post applet

The Send HTTP Post applet sends an HTTP post message when a call is routed through the applet.
If the target URL takes longer than 10 seconds to respond, the HTTP post message times out and the call routes to the next applet. This behavior is equivalent to the Result action of Ignore.

You can only use this applet in an interaction plan that routes calls, and not other types of interactions.

After making any changes to the applet, you must click the corresponding Update button, or buttons, to save your changes. Changes in other sections are NOT saved when you click an Update button in another section, so update the modified field or fields before making changes in other sections.
