class HttpBase

package haxe.http

extended by HttpJs, HttpFlash, Http

Available on all platforms

This class can be used to handle Http requests consistently across platforms. There are two intended usages:

  • call haxe.Http.requestUrl(url) and receive the result as a String (only available on sys targets)
  • create a new haxe.Http(url), register your callbacks for onData, onError and onStatus, then call request().

Constructor

new(url:String)

Creates a new Http instance with url as parameter.

This does not do a request until request() is called.

If url is null, the field url must be set to a value before making the call to request(), or the result is unspecified.

(Php) Https (SSL) connections are allowed only if the OpenSSL extension is enabled.

Variables

read onlyresponseBytes:Null<Bytes>

read onlyresponseData:Null<String>

url:String

The url of this request. It is used only by the request() method and can be changed in order to send the same request to different target Urls.

Methods

addHeader(header:String, value:String):Void

addParameter(name:String, value:String):Void

dynamiconBytes(data:Bytes):Void

This method is called upon a successful request, with data containing the result String.

The intended usage is to bind it to a custom function: httpInstance.onBytes = function(data) { // handle result }

dynamiconData(data:String):Void

This method is called upon a successful request, with data containing the result String.

The intended usage is to bind it to a custom function: httpInstance.onData = function(data) { // handle result }

dynamiconError(msg:String):Void

This method is called upon a request error, with msg containing the error description.

The intended usage is to bind it to a custom function: httpInstance.onError = function(msg) { // handle error }

dynamiconStatus(status:Int):Void

This method is called upon a Http status change, with status being the new status.

The intended usage is to bind it to a custom function: httpInstance.onStatus = function(status) { // handle status }

request(?post:Bool):Void

Sends this Http request to the Url specified by this.url.

If post is true, the request is sent as POST request, otherwise it is sent as GET request.

Depending on the outcome of the request, this method calls the onStatus(), onError(), onData() or onBytes() callback functions.

If this.url is null, the result is unspecified.

If this.url is an invalid or inaccessible Url, the onError() callback function is called.

[js] If this.async is false, the callback functions are called before this method returns.

setHeader(name:String, value:String):Void

Sets the header identified as name to value value.

If name or value are null, the result is unspecified.

This method provides a fluent interface.

setParameter(name:String, value:String):Void

Sets the parameter identified as name to value value.

If name or value are null, the result is unspecified.

This method provides a fluent interface.

setPostBytes(data:Null<Bytes>):Void

Sets the post data of this Http request to data bytes.

There can only be one post data per request. Subsequent calls to this method or to setPostData() overwrite the previously set value.

If data is null, the post data is considered to be absent.

This method provides a fluent interface.

setPostData(data:Null<String>):Void

Sets the post data of this Http request to data string.

There can only be one post data per request. Subsequent calls to this method or to setPostBytes() overwrite the previously set value.

If data is null, the post data is considered to be absent.

This method provides a fluent interface.
