REST request through Actions and Triggers In Drupal, I can define a Advanced Action in Administration&gt;Actions , but the available options do not have a Send REST request option, how do I achieve what I want?

In my case, I want my remote service to know about a new node is being created, so I need to send the nid to my service.

I've thought of one dirty hack though, which is to use Redirect to URL and send my request through URL:



My server will receive the data it needs(which is the nid), and redirect the user back to their content using [node:id].

But like I said, this is more of a hack, is there a proper way of doing this?
I think the Rules HTTP Client module will suit you:


  This module adds an action wrapping of drupal_http_request to use
  Rules for making http requests. It has many general uses, because the
  Hypertext Transfer Protocol is the foundation of web data
  communication.
