Post HTTP request using Automation script

I want to post a simple JSON message to an external system and do not want to add any external library to Maximo as it would require a restart.

Node Agent cannot start after configuring LDAP

Just to document a weird issue I had today. I was attempting to configure LDAP (Microsoft AD) for Maximo/Websphere. After it is configured (and I've tested that it can query AD data), Application Server security was enabled. Then the server is rebooted to refresh the new configuration.
