The Server Name and Path are very important to ensure that your request is going to the right place. By default, the request goes with HTTP protocol which can be changed to HTTPS if desired. User parameters can be added to the request if any additional parameters are needed to land on the specific page. All methods such as GET, POST, etc. are supported.
