Create and configure HTTP connections in Meters, including base URL, authentication, and connection testing.

1. Navigate to Mediation > Meters.
2. Click the Manage Connections button at the top of the page.
   The Manage Connections window is displayed and lists all existing connections with the connection details.
3. Click Create New to create a new connection.
4. From the list of connection types, select HTTP and click Continue.
5. Enter a descriptive and unique Connection Name for the connection.
