HTTPRequest¶
Category: Core
Brief Description¶
A node with the ability to send HTTP requests.
Properties¶
int | body_size_limit |
String | download_file |
int | max_redirects |
bool | use_threads |
Methods¶
void | cancel_request ( ) |
int | get_body_size ( ) const |
int | get_downloaded_bytes ( ) const |
Status | get_http_client_status ( ) const |
Error | request ( String url, PoolStringArray custom_headers=PoolStringArray( ), bool ssl_validate_domain=true, Method method=0, String request_data=”” ) |
Signals¶
- request_completed ( int result, int response_code, PoolStringArray headers, PoolByteArray body )
This signal is emitted upon request completion.
Enumerations¶
enum Result:
- RESULT_SUCCESS = 0 — Request successful.
- RESULT_CHUNKED_BODY_SIZE_MISMATCH = 1
- RESULT_CANT_CONNECT = 2 — Request failed while connecting.
- RESULT_CANT_RESOLVE = 3 — Request failed while resolving.
- RESULT_CONNECTION_ERROR = 4 — Request failed due to connection (read/write) error.
- RESULT_SSL_HANDSHAKE_ERROR = 5 — Request failed on SSL handshake.
- RESULT_NO_RESPONSE = 6 — Request does not have a response (yet).
- RESULT_BODY_SIZE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED = 7 — Request exceeded its maximum size limit, see body_size_limit.
- RESULT_REQUEST_FAILED = 8 — Request failed. (Unused)
- RESULT_DOWNLOAD_FILE_CANT_OPEN = 9 — HTTPRequest couldn’t open the download file.
- RESULT_DOWNLOAD_FILE_WRITE_ERROR = 10 — HTTPRequest couldn’t write to the download file.
- RESULT_REDIRECT_LIMIT_REACHED = 11 — Request reached its maximum redirect limit, see max_redirects.
Description¶
A node with the ability to send HTTP requests. Uses HTTPClient internally.
Can be used to make HTTP requests, i.e. download or upload files or web content via HTTP.

Property Descriptions¶
- int body_size_limit
Setter | set_body_size_limit(value) |
Getter | get_body_size_limit() |
Maximum allowed size for response bodies.
- String download_file
Setter | set_download_file(value) |
Getter | get_download_file() |
The file to download into. Will output any received file into it.
- int max_redirects
Setter | set_max_redirects(value) |
Getter | get_max_redirects() |
Maximum number of allowed redirects.
- bool use_threads
Setter | set_use_threads(value) |
Getter | is_using_threads() |
If true
, multithreading is used to improve performance.
Method Descriptions¶
- void cancel_request ( )
Cancels the current request.
- int get_body_size ( ) const
Returns the response body length.
- int get_downloaded_bytes ( ) const
Returns the amount of bytes this HTTPRequest downloaded.
- Status get_http_client_status ( ) const
Returns the current status of the underlying HTTPClient. See STATUS_*
enum on HTTPClient.
- Error request ( String url, PoolStringArray custom_headers=PoolStringArray( ), bool ssl_validate_domain=true, Method method=0, String request_data=”” )
Creates request on the underlying HTTPClient. If there is no configuration errors, it tries to connect using HTTPClient.connect_to_host and passes parameters onto HTTPClient.request.
Returns @GlobalScope.OK if request is successfully created. (Does not imply that the server has responded), @GlobalScope.ERR_UNCONFIGURED if not in the tree, @GlobalScope.ERR_BUSY if still processing previous request, @GlobalScope.ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER if given string is not a valid URL format, or @GlobalScope.ERR_CANT_CONNECT if not using thread and the HTTPClient cannot connect to host.
