How to create a test step in ATF for REST outbound request?

There is no step in ATF to create REST outbound request.So do I have to create a custom script? Can anyone guide on this?

I think there are a couple of ways to do this, but the best would probably be to mimic how the outbound rest request gets generated normally, outside of ATF. If you're generating it through a business rule, workflow, etc. based on some user action I would just have ATF perform the user action that would generally create the outbound REST call.

Yur other option would be to use a server script step to generate the outbound REST call from some JS using the RESTMessageV2 API.
