Too many RequestMaker components: HttpRequest, TryIt, RequestMaker

[marcelltoth]

I'm reviving this because it makes for a good preparatory task before beginning to work on the new TryIt component.

If we got rid of all the extra RM components - especially TryIt - we could differentiate between the two versions of the component both in writing and in the code:

• RequestMaker would be the old one
• TryIt would be the new (Product's materials are already calling it TryIt which makes this simpler)

Request Maker would be the full, all options included, HTTP console. This would be the basis for the new Requests Module in Platform / Studio someday.

"Try It" is the simple "click a button to send the request that was mostly defined by somebody else" component, which is RequestMaker-lite.

Hold on, so there are two new components being built? We are likely missing / misunderstanding a significant part of the request maker plans then. Let's discuss this tomorrow.
