I need to pass a date parameter in and HTTP task with a millisecond converted date. Does anyone know if this function is supported? For example date 1/1/2014 would be converted to 1388552400000 (milliseconds date format).

There is no such function yet. I am moving this to Feature requests forum. But you can use the .NET code task to create this. Here is the method for converting a date to milliseconds:


DateTime.Now.TotalMilliseconds.ToString()

Thank you. I am not sure how to do that in a .NET task. I am calling an API (link and passing date parameters in milliseconds), I need to authenticate with a username and password and then download a file.

Should be pretty easy to add as a Variable. Hopefully we can add this in next week. Thanks.

This feature has now been added for next version. When that comes out use "totalmilliseconds" as output format.
