HTTP Sender: Invokes an internet resource using HTTP. This service is able to automatically submit HTML forms, and/or load the contents of Web-pages into the process data. This sort of thing is very useful when trying to integrate a LiveCycle process with any traditional Web-Application. Technically this service is able to perform an HTTP-Get or HTTP-Post on an internet resource. It can take any number of parameters and the values can be pulled from the process data. The response is passed back into the process data as a string.
