The HTTP API must be enabled in mod_ComputerCraft.cfg before being used. To enable it open .minecraft/config/mod_ComputerCraft.cfg and change enableAPI_http=0 to enableAPI_http=1.
The HTTP API allows interfacing with websites and downloading from them.

| |
| Method Name | Description |
| http.request( url, *postData ) | Sends a HTTP request to a website. |
| http.get( url ) | Sends a HTTP GET request to a website. |
| http.post( url, postData ) | Sends a HTTP POST request to a website. |
A period of time after a http.request() call is made, a "http_success" or "http_failure" event will be raised to os.pullEvent(). Arguments are the URL and a file handle if successful. http.get() blocks until this event is fired.
