HTTPGet
Returns the content from a specified URL. This function only works with HTTP on port 80 and HTTPS on port 443. Non-standard port assignments cause this function to fail. Marketing Cloud honors any character set returned in the HTTP headers via Content-Type. For example, you can use a UTF-8 encoded HTML file with Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 included in the header. If the encoding is not specified in the header, the application assumes all returned data will be in the character set WindowsCodePage 1252. You can change this default by contacting your Marketing Cloud account representative.
In a send, if the URL is the same for many subscribers, the call is made once per unique URL. The responses are held in cache and used for each subscriber.
