Form URL Writer

The Form URL Writer provides the ability to integrate with a Form URL and URL Parameter type web service.

These types of services require that a sequence of key value pairs (e.g. key1=value1&key2=value2&key3=value3) be 'posted' to the service either as a form post or as parameters to the URL.

Due to the nature of the output the following limitations apply:

• The writer only works with the HTTP IO Controller.
• Only the values from the top Transaction Type will be included in the request.
• A single request per record will be made.
