Re: [Pharo-project] [COTDC] 3 - HTTPClient

[Sven Van Caekenberghe]

I'm a facade for doing simple HTTP GET/POST operations like downloading / 
uploading some content.

For example, I get HTML content for http://www.pharo-project.org web page like 
this:

       HTTPClient httpGet: 'http://www.pharo-project.org'.
       HTTPClient httpGetDocument: 'http://www.pharo-project.org'.

When successful, a Stream respectively a MIMEDocument is returned, in case of 
error, a String is returned.

Or, I can make a application/x-www-form-urlencoded post request to 
http://intranet.acme.com/login and send form data to the server like this:

       (args := Dictionary new)
                at: 'username' put: #('j...@acme.com');
                at: 'password' put: #('secretpassword').
        result := HTTPClient httpPostDocument: 'http://intranet.acme.com/login' 
args: args.

Alternatively, I can do a multipart/formdata post request to 
http://intranet.acme.com/files and send a file like this:

       (args := Dictionary new)
                at: 'file' put: (Array with: (MIMEDocument contents: 'This is a 
test' mimeType: 'text/plain' uri: 'file:///test.txt').
        result := HTTPClient httpPostDocument: 'http://intranet.acme.com/files' 
args: args.
