HttpClient (Script v2)

The following commands can be used to transfer data over a secure HTTP connection.

HttpClient.Upload( table )

HttpClient.Download( table )

'table' has the following entries

HttpClient Table Entries
Name	Type	Description
Url	string	The URL to either upload to or download from
Headers	table	a table of header ( string --> string )
User	string	Username for authenticated sites
Password	string	Password for authenticated sites
Data	string	Used by .Upload
Method	string	Either "POST" or "PUT", used by .Upload
EventHandler	function	Function to call with status. Signature is function( table, http_code, data, error ). 'code' is the http return code (200 is good).

Example 1: Get a web page and show the return code, the page source and any errors in the debug window.

function done(tbl, code, d, e)

print( code, d, e )

end

HttpClient.Download { Url = "http://www.google.com", EventHandler = done }

Example 1: Send Post data to a web site (Henry's HTTP Post Dumping Server). Note that this example uses the same EventHandler function as Example 1

function done(tbl, code, d, e)

print( code, d, e )

end

HttpClient.Upload {

Url = "http://posttestserver.com/post.php",

Method = "POST",

User = "Admin",

Password = "test",

Data = "this is a test",

Headers = {

["Content-Type"] = "text/html",

Larry = "another larry"

EventHandler = done

}
