    @nickcarenza thanks for the PR, much appreciated.
    
    I was going through it and got myself wondering:
    
    Is there any reason why we are doing this when InvokeHTTP processor cater for the very same need (i.e. POST followed by content to attributes)
    
    From its documentation:
    
    > **Put Response Body In Attribute**
    > 
    > _If set, the response body received back will be put into an attribute of the original FlowFile instead of a separate FlowFile. The attribute key to put to is determined by evaluating value of this property. 
    > Supports Expression Language: true_
    
    Keen to understand the reason as I suspect I am missing something
