I just tried it works . The javascript function is the value specified in Send Parameters with request and it correctly sends blank or the actual value. Im not sure what you mean by null value , in http a null would be the same as not sending a parameter (and not sending it empty) Is that what you want? If not can you please illustrate what your test is and what you expect to happen ?
