# Sending messages through a MID Server

# Sending outbound REST messages through a MID Server {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
You can configure a REST message HTTP method to be sent through a MID
Server.

By using a MID Server, the request can reach an endpoint that is behind a firewall or within a
private network.

To configure an HTTP method to use a MID Server, select a MID Server in the Use MID Server field on the HTTP Method form. The instance must have an active MID Server to
use this functionality.
