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.

Methods

Method name Description
http.request( url, *postData )
http.get( url )
http.post( url, postData )
* = Optional

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.
