[Feature Request] Set http headers for a post request? / Get body from file

[WarmUpTill]

Thank you very much for the suggestion! :)

I havn't looked too much into the http action yet, but I am guessing that the body is manually configured when reading the docs here: https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/wiki/Http-action , I was wondering if it would be possible to get the body of the request from a file - I can have the python script update a file with the body required for the message: https://dev.streamelements.com/docs/api-docs/1e22a4ed3ad16-channel-say

This part should already be possible.

The http action does support using variables in body text area.
So you could use a macro setup similar to this one to assign the file contents to a variable named "File content":

You can then reference the variable in a Http action using the syntax ${variable name here}.
So using the example from above something similar to this:

It requires a auth header

That I think is not yet possible at the moment and would have to be implemented.
I will add it to the todo list, but I am not sure yet when I will get around to it.

I implemented the option to set headers for the get and post requests in the http action.

A build with this change should be available here in a few minutes:

I would appreciate if you could give this a try and report back if you run into any issues :)
