HTTP Client

Constant	Type	Value	Comment
HTTP basic	Longint	1	Use BASIC authentication method
HTTP compression	Longint	6	value = 0 (do not compress) or 1 (compress). Default value: 0 This option enables or disables the compression mechanism intended to accelerate exchanges for requests between the client and server. When this mechanism is enabled, the HTTP client uses deflate or gzip compression depending on the server response.
HTTP DELETE method	String	DELETE	See RFC 2616
HTTP digest	Longint	2	Use DIGEST authentication method
HTTP display auth dial	Longint	4	value = 0 (do not display dialogue box) or 1 (display dialogue box). Default value: 0 This option displays the authentication dialog box when the HTTP Get or HTTP Request command is executed. By default, this command never displays the dialog box and you must normally use the HTTP AUTHENTICATE command. However, if you want an authentication dialog box to appear so that users can enter their identifiers, then pass 1 in value. The dialog box only appears when the request requires authentication.
HTTP follow redirect	Longint	2	value = 0 (do not accept redirections) or 1 (accept redirections). Default value = 1
HTTP GET method	String	GET	See RFC 2616. Same as using HTTP Get command.
HTTP HEAD method	String	HEAD	See RFC 2616
HTTP max redirect	Longint	3	value = Maximum number of redirections accepted Default value = 2
HTTP OPTIONS method	String	OPTIONS	See RFC 2616
HTTP POST method	String	POST	See RFC 2616
HTTP PUT method	String	PUT	See RFC 2616
HTTP reset auth settings	Longint	5	value = 0 (do not delete information) or 1 (delete information). Default value: 0 This option indicates to 4D to reset the authentication information of the user (user name, password, method) after each execution of the HTTP Get or HTTP Request command in the same process. By default, this information is kept and reused for each request. Pass 1 in value to delete this information after each call. Note that regardless of the setting, this information is deleted when the process is killed.
HTTP timeout	Longint	1	value = timeout of client request, expressed in seconds. This timeout sets how long the HTTP client waits for the server to respond. After this period of time has passed, the client closes the session and the request is lost. By default, this timeout is 120 seconds. It can be changed because of specific characteristics (network state, request characteristics, etc.).
HTTP TRACE method	String	TRACE	See RFC 2616
