Http.Response sendAndWait() response.status code returns 0

I've been trying out the Http API in FlexSim 2021 with no success. At first I thought the issue was the API I was trying to hit, but I was able to hit it successfully in Powershell. I also tried hitting google with no success.

Http.Request request;
request.host = "https://www.google.com";
request.method = Http.Method.Get;
Http.Response response = request.sendAndWait();
print(response.value);
print(response.statusCode);

The response I get in the output console is

Which I assume is empty string followed by a 0 status code, which isn't a valid Http response status.

Has anybody encountered this before?

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.0.0

Remove the "https://" from the host path - just use "www.google.com", so:

request.host = "www.google.com";

Or initialize the request like this:

Http.Request request= Http.Request("https://www.google.com");

Thanks, moving the url into Http.Request seems to have solved the issue and I'm able to elicit a server response.

Is there a way to change the content-type of the request? It seems by default to be

application/x-www-form-urlencoded

I'd like to change it to

application/json
