HTTP Post Data Form
The POST data form allows you to add custom HTTP Headers and raw POST content to a request made against a Web site. This makes it possible to test requests that require form data or special headers as input. Using this form it's also possible to create requests that access Web Services by specifying SOAP headers and sending a fully formatted SOAP request.
You should only provide custom headers, rather than all headers as the Web request automatically generates default headers for the HTTP request.
The POST data on the form should be provided as raw HTTP POST data. This means that you are responsible for encoding the content into whatever format you choose. Typical HTML Form input is URLEncoded using application/x-www-form-urlencoded which is shown above. You can provide your own content type or use one of the default formats provided for you in the drop down which include multi-part forms and text/xml.
If you don't want use POST data clear the POST data field and exit.
