dsfml.network.http

The Http class is a very simple HTTP client that allows you to communicate with a web server. You can retrieve web pages, send data to an interactive resource, download a remote file, etc. The HTTPS protocol is not supported.

The HTTP client is split into 3 classes:

Http.Request
Http.Response
Http

$(PARA Http.Request builds the request that will be sent to the server. A request is made of:)

a method (what you want to do)
a target URI (usually the name of the web page or file)
one or more header fields (options that you can pass to the server)
an optional body (for POST requests)

$(PARA Http.Response parses the response from the web server and provides getters to read them. The response contains:)

a status code
header fields (that may be answers to the ones that you requested)
a body, which contains the contents of the requested resource

$(PARA $(U Http) provides a simple function, `sendRequest`, to send a Http.Request and return the corresponding Http.Response from the server.)
