How to add multiple http request calls in foreach | Mule 3

Question

I am using scatter-gather to call many endpoints with the same host and different paths. How can I add the HTTP request connector inside For Each scope, that can loop into the different paths and add the payload to the same file?

My code is as below, I would like to loop over the HTTP request;

Set a variable with an empty list before the foreach, and for each iteration concatenate the results. I guess you can set a list of the paths and use it to iterate the foreach.

Check the below sample code how we can use foreach in your scenario. THis is in Mule4. I hope you can do it in Mule3 as well.

I am not sure why you want to use foreach. I would suggest use Scatter_Gather instead of foreach. Because foreach will work sequentially and Scatter_Gather works concurrently. Performance wise concurrent process is good.
