SendHTTPRequest

Family: HTTP · 2 forms

What it does

SendHTTPRequest sends Request on a HTTP object. It takes iHTTP (an integer) and szServerFile (a string), and answers a string. That is the first of 2 forms.

Syntax

1
SendHTTPRequest(iHTTP integer, szServerFile string) → string
2
SendHTTPRequest(iHTTP integer, szServerFile string, szPostData string) → string

Parameters

Every form returns

string

Example · generated

Form 1, the short one

DO  Print(SendHTTPRequest(1, "assets/data.dat"))  Sync()LOOP

Form 2, with every argument

DO  Print(SendHTTPRequest(1, "assets/data.dat", "value"))  Sync()LOOP

SendHTTPRequest is called and its answer is printed every frame. The DO … LOOP is not decoration: a classic BASIC program ends the moment it runs out of lines, and Sync() is what draws the frame.
