Which of the following is not used to configure a REST message record?

• A. HTTP method
• B. Endpoint URL
• C. Request headers
• D. Authentication

Answer: (A)

The thing being tested is how a REST Message is defined in ServiceNow versus how individual calls are configured. A REST Message record is used to set up where to send requests and how to authenticate them, including the endpoint URL and any default request headers. Those parts tell ServiceNow how to reach the service and what to send by default. The HTTP verb (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) isn’t chosen on the base REST Message record itself; instead, that method is specified in the related HTTP Method record (or per specific call) for each operation you want to perform. So the HTTP method isn’t configured on the REST Message record itself, it’s configured for the particular call via the HTTP Methods configuration.
