User reviews

Worked great and was relatively easy to figure out. Nice extension! One note, I was trying to put an Authentication header on my request and I needed the Scheme and Parameter to be populated. I just needed to add one entry for Authentication and then the two entries are space delimited. For example, I put Authentication in Name field and "Bearer thetoken" in value field and then Bearer got populated to Authentication.Scheme and thetoker was in Authentication.Parameter. Just in case this saves anyone some time.
