Hello, I found out the hard way that the Service REST Rule cannot take form data (HTML PostData in PRPC). However, the Service HTTP Rule can do this. Under the request tab:
Map To: HTML PostData
Map To Key:
Leave the Map To Key blank and the request will be mapped to the Parameter Page of the Service Activity. For example,
Incoming HTTP Request Body:
name=dan&pet=cat
The above will be mapped to Param.name and Param.pet with values "dan" and "cat" respectively.

Hi dan,
Thanks for the reply. It seems like you are referring Service-HTTP rule but my question is related to Connect-HTTP OR Connect-REST rules whether we can pass form fields to the HTTP/REST service.

Hi Dan,
I have created one Service-HTTP and Posting the HTTP request body to do unit testing from the service.I am using HTML Postdata. But in the parameter page of the service activity the first name-value pair is missing which is after '?' in the request body, it is mapping name-value pair from first '&'.
Can you tell me why this is happening. Do I need to do anything else.
Thanks

do we have anything to capture header as well in Service HTTP?
