Is there need a http reader or http sender in source connector?

[linxd]

we open want sending a http request to a http service , and then process the response in the next step.
now , I just do by adding null source js reader ,and in destination, first add a http sender to post the http request. and then process in the next destination.

is there some good way?

Yes, that works. You can also process the response in the response transformer.

As an alternative, you can make java http requests on the source side in a JS reader or transformer.
