Enable Service refresh of Web.Page(Web.Contents without a Gateway like Json.Document(Web.Contents connections

Please update the Web.Page data source connection to enable credentials to be entered directly into the Service vs requiring a gateway.

I ran into this issue while deploying a report that used two Web connections. One required Basic credentials and was connected to an API that returns a JSON payload, the other was to a simple anonymous web URL. The URL that required Basic credentials could be configured directly in the Schedule Refresh section but when adding the Web URL it required the use of a gateway to access the anonymous site.

Looking into the issue more, thought both are setup as Web connections in Desktop, in Power Query they are:

Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("...API URL here..."))

Source = Web.Page(Web.Contents("... anonymous URL here..."))
