This action is used to load a text file that can be loaded from a URL or file reference. The string content that represents the HTML is assigned to a property. Some requests for HTML require authentication, so there are optional properties that pass user name and password credentials to a request.

Features

The properties for this action are listed in the following table:

A backslash (\) represents an escape character.
