CONNUTIL-624
Add new LF or CRLF selection when uploading message body information from file during POST & PUT requests as Windows expects CRLF and Unix/Linux expects LF for record termination. The default value is set as CRLF. CONNUTIL-625
Add the capability to extract the contents of an array item returned in a JSON structure. When using this, the JsonPath value should end in the required array value (i.e $.stats.[0]). CONNUTIL-626
Corrected a problem when single quote characters are used in the JSON message body. The single quote character is escaped by the Enterprise Manager plugin and then reverted by the Webservices connector prior to execution.
