HTTP (API)

The HTTP API must be enabled in mod_ComputerCraft.cfg before being used. To enable it open .minecraft/config/ComputerCraft.cfg and change enableAPI_http=false to enableAPI_http=true.

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

HTTP (API)
Method Name	Description
http.request( string url, string *postData )	Sends a HTTP request to a website.
http.get( string url )	Sends a HTTP GET request to a website.
http.post( string url, string 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.
