3. Change the Request method to GET
4. Add the following headers

5. Add the following JSON snippet to the Body of the request.
   • Notice that the target URL that you will be tracing is in the JSON “trace” array under “url”.

{
    "fields":[],
    "trace": [
        {
            "url":"http://wheregoes.com/tests/js-redirect-1.php",
            "ua":"test bot agent"
