HttpBase

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().

Instance Members #

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.

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 }

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 }

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 }

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.
