StringServlet (httpClient-StringServlet)
This component captures requests coming in to the station from an external client. You can also send GET requests to a StringServlet. The functionality is the same, except no Request Body can be posted.
This may be any Http client such as:
- a web browser
- a command line utility, such as curl or wget
- an application for creating requests, such as Postman
- another httpClient instance running on another station
