Improved the performance of REST Snaps when the Snaps encounter Unauthorized (401) or Forbidden (403) errors even when the user credentials are available in the organization and the account type is OAuth2. 429patches17084 Enhanced the following REST Snaps with Cookie Policy dropdown list to set the cookie policy specifications. This field is case-insensitive: Cookie Policy: The Cookie Policy to select from the following options: BROWSER COMPATIBILITY: This policy is compatible with different servers even if they are not completely standards-compliant. If you are facing issues while parsing cookies, you should try using this policy. IGNORE COOKIES: This cookie policy ignores all cookies.
