HTTP Request Worker

Makes HTTP requests to external APIs and web services.

How it works:

1. Request Construction: Builds HTTP request with specified method, URL, and body
2. Execution: Sends request with 60-second timeout
3. Response Processing: Returns status code, headers, and parsed JSON/text response

Parameters:

• url: Target URL for the HTTP request
• method: HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.)
• body: Request body as JSON object (automatically serialized)

Supported Methods:

• GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD, OPTIONS

Response Format:

• status: HTTP status code (200, 404, 500, etc.)
• data: Parsed JSON response or raw text
• headers: Response headers (if available)

Examples:

• GET request: method="GET", url="https://api.example.com/data"
• POST with data: method="POST", url="https://api.example.com/users", body={"name": "John", "email": "[email protected]"}

Content-Type Handling:

• JSON bodies are automatically serialized
• JSON responses are automatically parsed
• Non-JSON responses return as text

Error Handling:

• Network errors return error information
• Timeout after 60 seconds
• Invalid URLs or methods return validation errors

Common Use Cases:

• Call REST APIs
• Fetch data from web services
• Submit forms and data
• Integrate with third-party services
• Webhook notifications
