Got it. Based on the screenshot you sent me, this is in fact a GET request (somewhat odd, not the weirdest thing in the world).
The real problem doing this from Ignition scripting is going to be replicating the --digest flag. There's no built in support in the native HTTP client for digest authentication, so you'll have to script it yourself.
This LLM guided output might get you there?
