Requirements for HTTP Adapter

Adapter names will be displayed in the Transport Name drop-down list of JSON Adapter. See more about Adapter Name Concept: Logical and Physical Reference

HTTP Requests
SSQUARE needs to know where the request is made to. Along the creating steps you’re required to provide parameter type, request URL, request method as well as connection timeout.
