Testing HTTP Request Databoxes

Ensuring your queries work properly

HTTP request databoxes can be tested in much the same way as SQL Query databoxes. The same test dialog appears with the same prerequisites and operation (the only difference being is that an HTTP request is being made rather than a SQL query being executed).

For more details please refer to the Testing SQL Query Databoxes.

Remember: HTTP requests can timeout. If the server is there but not responding quickly or correctly then an HTTP databox can take up to 30 seconds to timeout. In these situations the test dialog will take up to 30 seconds to come back with a result.
