Issue Details

  • I don't know how to change the POST.vi content type or other lines in the HTTP request. When I go to change the code internally, I see that the block diagram is password protected. 
  • Is it possible to use POST.vi to send XML data through the buffer?

Solution

Looking at the HTTP palette, there’s a folder dedicated to headers.
 

 
In this folder, there’s an Add Header VI. To change the Content-type to a JSON/XML you can use the following syntax:
