Workflow Designer Test Request for HTTP Web Request uses client machine not server

Workflow Version 10 Administration Security
Updated October 3, 2018
asked on October 3, 2018

It appears that the "test request" function for the HTTP Web Request activity in workflow designer are actually making the request from the client computer that is running Designer. Isn't this a bug? Shouldn't the test run from the workflow server?

The SQL queries seem to be running on the server when I test those.

If it runs from the client, then its not really a true test.

I found this out as our IT team has been requiring TLS 1.2 on our servers. I was unable to test these types of activities until I had the .NET TLS-realted registry keys added to my computer listed in the LF KB. I was getting SSL-related errors until these keys were implemented.

What should be the behavior?

That's normal. Until you publish the workflow, it doesn't exist on the server. The test function is mostly for convenience so that you can validate that the service call works with the parameters that you specify, and that it returns the appropriate value. To fully test end-to-end, you'll need to publish.
