Streamline your data management process with the Qualtrics + HTTP Request (GET/POST) integration

Qualtrics is a simple to use web-based survey tool to conduct survey research, evaluations and other data collection activities. Anyone (with no experience) can use this research suite to build surveys, send surveys and analyze responses. All from any online location, any time you need.

Use of Qualtrics software requires a CMC email account login and password. You must use the CMC Qualtrics web form to log in or create an account. If you go to the public Qualtrics website and create a trial account, any surveys you create or data you collect will not be accessible from the CMC Qualtrics site.

When using Qualtrics, Firefox, Chrome and Safari are the recommended web browsers; problems have been encountered when using Internet Explorer.

HTTP is a protocol that works with a client / server architecture. The client makes a request, and the server returns the response. In common use, the client corresponds to the browser and server the machine on which the website resides. There are therefore, two types of HTTP messages: request messages and reply messages.

HTTP differs from other layers seven protocol such as FTP, because connections are generally closed once a particular request (or a series of related requests) has been met.

This behavior makes the HTTP protocol ideal for the World Wide Web, where the pages very often contain links to pages hosted by other servers thus decreasing the number of active connections limiting them to those actually needed with an increase in efficiency (lower load and occupancy) both on the client and on the server. However, sometimes it poses problems for web content developers, because the stateless nature of the browsing session forces to use alternative methods (typically based on cookies) to preserve the user's status.
