# HTTP Reference ## Http transfer | Script | Function | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- | | `bool gkScript::fetchUrl(string url, string &response, mapheader = [])` | Fetches a URL into a string | Samples: ```c++ var data = ""; gkScript.fetchUrl("https://www.dropbox.com/", data); gkScript.fetchUrl("https://www.dropbox.com/", data, ["Accept-Charset": "utf-8", "Accept-Language": "en-US"]); ``` ## HttpResponse Object | Script | Function | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- | | `HttpResponse gkScript::httpRequest(string url, method httpMethod, mapheader = [], string requestBody = "")` | Creates a HttpResponse class | The following methods are defined: ```c++ enum http_methods // supported methods for gkScript::httpRequest { GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, TRACE, OPTIONS, CONNECT }; ``` ### HttpResponse class ```c++ class HttpResponse { statusCode; // unsigned int responseBody; // string responseHeader; // map of string:string pairs string getHeader(string header); // get response-header with case insensitive header name }; ``` ### Http transfer sample The following sample is a combination of the script from **Http transfer** and **HttpResponse Object**. It uses both to get the headers of an URL.\ Then a **GET** method with range header to retrieve the first 100 bytes of the URL. ```shell eval> var response=gkScript.httpRequest("http://www.glueckkanja.com/", HEAD); eval> for (h: response.responseHeader) {print(" " + h.first + ": " + h.second);} : HTTP/1.1 200 OK Accept-Ranges: bytes Arr-Disable-Session-Affinity: true Cache-Control: no-cache,public,max-age=1036800 Content-Length: 45170 Content-Type: text/html Date: Tue, 07 Nov 2017 10:12:53 GMT ETag: "4612133abe54d31:0" Last-Modified: Fri, 03 Nov 2017 16:10:11 GMT Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.0 Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000 X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN X-Powered-By: ASP.NET eval> var response2=gkScript.httpRequest("http://www.glueckkanja.com/", GET, ["Range": "bytes=0-100"]); eval> response2.responseBody ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
