Better Webhooks
===================================

**Better Webhooks** is a Splunk app that implements a more-fully-featured alert action
for sending Webhooks. With it, you can authenticate your Webhooks (with either HTTP
basic auth, a custom HTTP header, or HMAC). Additionally, you can customize the HTTP
POST body. 

Release History
----------------

1.1.8
-----
* Add support for sending empty POST bodies by using the ``$none$`` token in the body format field. When this token is used, no Content-Type header is sent with the request.
* Refactor HTTP code in the webhook credentials management interface for better error handling and maintainability.
* Fix bug where ampersands (&) in passwords would break HTTP calls due to improper URL encoding.

1.1.7
-----
* Fix bug where HMAC timestamp header being unset in a credential would cause the alert action to fail.

1.1.6
-----
* Adds a proxy setting which can be set in ``better_webhooks.conf`` to apply to all requests made by the alert action.
* Fixes a bug where the credential dropdown was not populated when used as an ES adaptive response action.
* Adds default alert action settings to alert_actions.conf (Thanks Matt Anderson!)
