This module provides a function for making HTTP requests to external services.Note that while this allows communicating with third-party services it mayaffect database performance by blocking Foxx requests as ArangoDB waits forthe remote service to respond. If you routinely make requests to slow externalservices and are not directly interested in the response it is probably abetter idea to delegate the actual request/response cycle to a gateway servicerunning outside ArangoDB.
