Syntax
createRequest(URL, http_method, request_handle)
Note: This function is case-sensitive. If you want it to be case-insensitive, you
must compile your programs using the BASIC command with the -i option.
Description
The createRequest function creates an HTTP request and returns a handle to the
request.
Parameters
The following table describes each parameter of the syntax.
Parameter Option
URL A string containing the URL for a resource on a web server. An
accepted URL must follow the specified syntax defined in RFC 1738.
The general format is: http://:/?.
The host can be either a name string or IP address. The port is the port
number to which you want to connect, which usually defaults to 80 and
is often omitted, along with the preceding colon. The path tells the web
server which file you want, and, if omitted, means “home page” for the
system. The searchpart can be used to send additional information to a
web server.
http_method A string which indicates the method to be performed on the resource.
See the table below for the available (case-sensitive) methods.
