How To Use

Simple Request

using (URLClient.HTTPClient client = new URLClient.HTTPClient("unity3d.com"))
{
  yield return StartCoroutine(client.WaitUntilDone());

  ///
  // check response
  // ...
}

Advanced Request

You can create a request object with:

URLClient.HTTPRequest request = new URLClient.HTTPRequest();

Then you customize the request like you want like (check API here)

request.SetURL("http://www.google.com").
  AppendQueryParameter("q", "unity").
  SetHeader("User-Agent", "dummy user agent").
  AppendCookie("name", "value").
  Get();

Then you create a URLClient with:

using (URLClient.HTTPClient client = new URLClient.HTTPClient(request))
{
  yield return StartCoroutine(client.WaitUntilDone());

  ///
  // check response
  // ...
}

Checking Response

You can check the response any time during or after you create the client. It may return null in case there is no response.

You can get the response with:

if (client.Response == null)
{
  // no response yet
}
else
{
  // commonly used fields:
  // client.Response.StatusCode;
  // client.Response.ContentToBytes();
  // client.Response.ContentToString();
  // client.Response.Progress;
  // etc.
}

client.Response follows the URLClient.IHTTPResponse interface:

public interface IHTTPResponse
{
  long StatusCode { get; }
  IHTTPHeaderList Headers { get; }

  ulong ExpectedReceiveContentLength { get; }
  ulong ResumedContentLength { get; }
  ulong ReceivedContentLength { get; }
  ulong ExpectedAcquiredContentLength { get; }
  ulong AcquiredContentLength { get; }

  bool SupportsContentStream { get; }
  Stream ContentStream { get; }

  bool SupportsContentMemoryStream { get; }
  MemoryStream ContentMemoryStream { get; }

  bool SupportsContentFilePath { get; }
  string ContentFilePath { get; }

  byte[] ContentToBytes();
  string ContentToString(Encoding enc = null);

  int RedirectCount { get; }

  bool IsProgressAvailable { get; }
  float Progress { get; }
  float ReceiveProgress { get; }
}

Error Handling

You can check for error at any time during or after you create the client.

if (client.Error != null)
{
  // client.Error.Domain
  // client.Error.Code
  // client.Error.Description
}

Cancelling Client

You can cancel a running client at any time with:

client.Cancel();

Coroutines

You don't have to use coroutines. You can create and run a client with:

URLClient.HTTPClient client = new URLClient.HTTPClient(...);

Then, instead of yield return StartCoroutine(client.WaitUntilDone()); you can call the following at any point in time:

if (client.IsDone)
{
  // client finished!
  // check client.Response
}
else
{
  if (client.Response == null)
  {
    // no response yet
  }
  else
  {
    // check progress with client.Response.Progress
    // etc.
  }
}

However, you must destroy the client when you don't need it (otherwise you will get memory leaks):

client.Dispose();
client = null;
