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.
