Features | Detailed Description
Available in .NET, VCL and ActiveX editions.
Http is used to submit or retrieve the information from a web server to your local computer via HTTP protocol as described in RFC 1945 and RFC 2616 documents.
The HTTP component provides a simple way for developing customized web client applications. Implementing both HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1 specifications allows the user to use the HTTP component for retrieving documents from a HTTP server as well as submit form data for further processing by a CGI, Java servlet or ASP.NET application.
Using HTTP component you can log on to the server that requires SSL authentication and also authenticate using client certificate. See SSL / TLS support
Please see the Demos code (HttpClient, HttpClientSSL, HttpClientProxy) and also the indexed Help documentation provided with the Clever Internet Suite installation for more details about using this component.
