http/http_request

Execute a plain HTTP request.

Useful for backend data upload/delete or any ad-hoc HTTP call during a test flow. The output is the response body itself, so a JSON object response is published across context variables one per top-level key — the same way every step publishes its return outputs.

Inputs

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Also accepts	Description
headers	object	no	{}	—	Extra HTTP headers merged into the request.
timeout	number	no	None	—	Request timeout in seconds; the test's default is used when omitted.
method	string	no	'GET'	—	HTTP method.
body	any	no	None	—	Request body; dicts are sent as JSON.
url	string	yes	—	—	Target URL.
query_params	object	no	{}	—	Query string parameters appended to the URL.

Output — the value assertions and returns: read

A response body: parsed JSON when the server sent JSON, otherwise the raw text.
