Using the POST VI with LabVIEW Web Services

Use this VI to interact with a LabVIEW Web service. First, you must create and publish a Web service, including the setup of a URL map to accept the POST method. You can then use the POST VI to connect to that Web service by specifying a URL that corresponds to the Web service.
