Azure-devops-docs: Is there a way to access the Response Body

[verbedr]

It is nice to call REST API's but I need the result of that call in order to perform a second call.

Never mind I read in the closed issues that it is not possible. It would be nice to have something that can provide the results as an output for other tasks

[verbedr]

An it would be nice to include this as part of the documentation.

@verbedr -- Dries, thank you for your question and followup. You are welcome to add your product suggestion here.

@RoopeshNair -- Roopesh, please look into this potential documentation issue.

@WilliamAntonRohm Thx for your quick reply. I do realize I was a bit to quick to post the question/remark. If I would have taken more time I should have realize that the Task used the HttpRequest feature from tfs which is limiting the options that are available. And it's not that easy to fix/solve.

My appoligies if I sounded aggravated.

@RoopeshNair you could add an additional question in the Q/A

Can I use the response boby as the input for a nother task?

No, as this taks is an agent less task and thus is using TFS internal HttpRequest it can't return the content of the http request

@verbedr -- Dries, thank you for clarifying. Your first comment is fine -- it's what we do!

@shashban -- Shashank, please review private PR 1382.
