 Function http.request | |
| Sends a HTTP request to a website, asynchronously. Returns immediately, with an http_success or http_failure event being delivered later to indicate the outcome. Issues a POST request if postData is provided, or a GET request if it is nil (or omitted). headers must come as a third argument, if you need to make a GET request using custom headers just pass nil as the second argument. | |
