The net http library

Overview

The http library supplies an HTTP client implementation.

Acting as a server is built into Pipefish services and there is no good reason to duplicate this functionality.

Modules

("io")

("net/http")

("strings")

Types

Http = struct (url string?, contentType string?)

Data structure saying where to post and what to post to.

Response = struct (body string)

Data type containing an HTTP response.

Commands

post to (h Http, body snippet)

Posts body to the url specified in the url field of h.

post to (h Http, body any)

Posts body to the url specified in the url field of h.

get(x ref) from (h Http)

Gets an HTTP response from the url specified in the url field of h.

Functions

Http(url string)

Overloads the Http constructor to default to a NULL value for the contentType field when only the url is supplied.
