Thanks Dave: working...! But anyway can someone give an example of HTTPHeaders usage?
When you use get or post with an http url, the libUrl library script constructs a minimal set of headers. For example, if you use the following command:
get url "http://192.168.123.7/cgi-bin/echo3.mt";
this is the request that is sent to the http server:
GET /cgi-bin/echo3.mt HTTP/1.1 Host: 192.168.123.7 User-Agent: Revolution (MacOS)
The first line is the "request" line. The 2nd and 3rd are the headers.
If you wanted to change the User-Agent header to your own custom name, you could do this:
set the httpHeaders to "User-Agent: DavesApp 1.0" get url "http://192.168.123.7/cgi-bin/echo3.mt";
and the request sent to the server will look like this:
GET /cgi-bin/echo3.mt HTTP/1.1 Host: 192.168.123.7 User-Agent: DavesApp 1.0
Setting multiple header lines is done in one go like this:
put "User-Agent: DavesApp 1.0" into tHeaders put return & "Connection: close" after tHeaders set the httpHeaders to tHeaders get url "http://192.168.123.7/cgi-bin/echo3.mt";
The request will look like this:
GET /cgi-bin/echo3.mt HTTP/1.1 Host: 192.168.123.7 User-Agent: DavesApp 1.0 Connection: close
(The Connection header asks the server to close the connection immediately after the respone has been sent.)
The standard http headers are described in the http rfc.
<http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html>
In addition, you can create custom headers which you can use in custom web applications. A CGI script on the server can respond depending on the value of a particular header.
For example:
set the httpheaders to "MyAction: newSessionKey"
This would have no effect unless the server or server script were specifically looking for this header.
