• Password Binding(text box editor type) (type: string): bind to a variable containing the encrypted password. (This parameter is used only when the user wants to send an encripted password from outside the task, for example Flowster Portal). This field should be used when the HTTP server doesn't accept anonymous authentication.

• Username(text box editor type) (type: string): the username for authentication. This field should be used when the HTTP server doesn't accept anonymous authentication.

• Attributes (text box editor type) (type: string): the parameters that will be sent with the request. Request parameters are the result of submitting an HTTP request with a query string that specifies the name/value pairs, or of submitting an HTML form that specifies the name/value pairs. The name and the values are always strings.
  
• Body (text box editor type) (type: string): the body you want to send with the request. This field takes precedence over the Dynamic Parameters field and accepts values as plain text only. An example of how a body should be written can be seen in the screenshot below:
