 * Hi, I want to connect to a third party API via HTTP Post. And then process the
   return XML.
 * I have successfully connected using a standalone REST client. So I know it works.
 * I’m required to send two keys and value pairs. I have set up the source, and 
   now want to know where I need to enter the pairs.
 * Key One is ‘key’ Value = My Privte Key
    Key Two is ‘id’ Value = ID for API to
   look up.
 * Does this go in the Query section of the Query Interface? If so, what language/
   syntax do I use to make the request as post. I have tried the full URL string
   and the API error tells me I have to submit it as post.
