The HTTP API allows interfacing with websites and downloading from them.

Methods provided by the HTTP API:

  • http.request( url )
  • http.get( url )

The HTTP API must be enabled in mod_ComputerCraft.cfg before being used.

A period of time after a http.request() call is made, a "http_success" or "http_failure" even will be raised to os.pullEvent(). Arguments are the URL and a file handle if successful. http.get() blocks until this even is fired.
