Description

Return Type

None  


Syntax

object.Get [Request]



The Get Method syntax has these parts:

Part Description
object An expression evaluating to an object of type wodHttpDLX.
Request Optional. A Variant value. Holds ful URL to resource on the server.

Remarks

This is the most common method used to retrieve a document from a remote server. When this method is called, you should provide full URL to the resource you wish to Get, or you can provide Hostname, Request.URI, optional login/password information, Headers, etc.. before you call this method. Upon completion of this method, the Response Object is filled with information received from the server.

Example -- the following code would automatically connect to a server, send the Get request to the server, receive a document, and Disconnect from the server (code in VB).

wodHttp1.Blocking = True
wodHttp1.Host = "www.weonlydo.com"
wodHttp1.Get "/"
Debug.Print Http1.Response.Body
 

If connection with the server is done manually using the Connect method, the Get method should be used inside the Connected event (for async model), or after Connect is called (for blocking mode).

For pipelined requests, more than one method can be called line by line ( they do not necessarily have to be inside the same event). These methods do not need to be the same ( you can also call POST, PUT etc.)

Each issued method is stored and sent to the server in sequence. The user should expect to receive documents in the same sequence.

Pipelined requests are only possible if the user has manually connected to a remote server.
