Answer 1

There are multiple ways to do this. One option is, you can use something like the HTTP Request Plugin . Then in your Post step, you can do the HTTP request like below.

def response = httpRequest 'https://your_host/something'

Another option is to simply use something like curl to send an HTTP request. You can execute your curl command within a sh block.

sh "curl -vk https://your_host/something"
