Is there a method like REST::send but for external URLs?
Hi;
With the REST::send method, is there a similar method to send json data to a URL that is external to the F5. I am asking this question as the REST::send method can only be used with URLs local to the F5?
My intention is to send a "one way" messsage, like a webhook to an external server to trigger something on it. Don't realy care if I get a response back. Below is the method.
Kindly
Wasfi

Legendary Colin had a great detailed write up that is hard to find.. and the link is broken with the API docs 😕 Alas, I found it! Here it is:
