<brief_description>
A node with the ability to send HTTP(S) requests.
</brief_description>
<description>
A node with the ability to send HTTP requests. Uses [HTTPClient] internally.
Can be used to make HTTP requests, i.e. download or upload files or web content via HTTP.
[b]Warning:[/b] See the notes and warnings on [HTTPClient] for limitations, especially regarding TLS security.
[b]Note:[/b] When exporting to Android, make sure to enable the [code]INTERNET[/code] permission in the Android export preset before exporting the project or using one-click deploy. Otherwise, network communication of any kind will be blocked by Android.
[b]Example of contacting a REST API and printing one of its returned fields:[/b]

[b]Gzipped response bodies[/b]: HTTPRequest will automatically handle decompression of response bodies. A [code]Accept-Encoding[/code] header will be automatically added to each of your requests, unless one is already specified. Any response with a [code]Content-Encoding: gzip[/code] header will automatically be decompressed and delivered to you as uncompressed bytes.

<methods>
<method name="cancel_request">
<return type="void" />
<description>
Cancels the current request.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_body_size" qualifiers="const">
<return type="int" />
<description>
Returns the response body length.
[b]Note:[/b] Some Web servers may not send a body length. In this case, the value returned will be [code]-1[/code]. If using chunked transfer encoding, the body length will also be [code]-1[/code].
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_downloaded_bytes" qualifiers="const">
<return type="int" />
<description>
Returns the number of bytes this HTTPRequest downloaded.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_http_client_status" qualifiers="const">
<return type="int" enum="HTTPClient.Status" />
<description>
Returns the current status of the underlying [HTTPClient]. See [enum HTTPClient.Status].
</description>
</method>
<method name="request">
<return type="int" enum="Error" />
<param index="0" name="url" type="String" />
<param index="1" name="custom_headers" type="PackedStringArray" default="PackedStringArray()" />
<param index="2" name="tls_validate_domain" type="bool" default="true" />
<param index="3" name="method" type="int" enum="HTTPClient.Method" default="0" />
<param index="4" name="request_data" type="String" default="&quot;&quot;" />
<description>
Creates request on the underlying [HTTPClient]. If there is no configuration errors, it tries to connect using [method HTTPClient.connect_to_host] and passes parameters onto [method HTTPClient.request].
Returns [constant OK] if request is successfully created. (Does not imply that the server has responded), [constant ERR_UNCONFIGURED] if not in the tree, [constant ERR_BUSY] if still processing previous request, [constant ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER] if given string is not a valid URL format, or [constant ERR_CANT_CONNECT] if not using thread and the [HTTPClient] cannot connect to host.
[b]Note:[/b] When [param method] is [constant HTTPClient.METHOD_GET], the payload sent via [param request_data] might be ignored by the server or even cause the server to reject the request (check [url=https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7231#section-4.3.1]RFC 7231 section 4.3.1[/url] for more details). As a workaround, you can send data as a query string in the URL (see [method String.uri_encode] for an example).
[b]Note:[/b] It's recommended to use transport encryption (TLS) and to avoid sending sensitive information (such as login credentials) in HTTP GET URL parameters. Consider using HTTP POST requests or HTTP headers for such information instead.

(Does not imply that the server has responded), [constant ERR_UNCONFIGURED] if not in the tree, [constant ERR_BUSY] if still processing previous request, [constant ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER] if given string is not a valid URL format, or [constant ERR_CANT_CONNECT] if not using thread and the [HTTPClient] cannot connect to host.

<members>
<member name="accept_gzip" type="bool" setter="set_accept_gzip" getter="is_accepting_gzip" default="true">
If [code]true[/code], this header will be added to each request: [code]Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate[/code] telling servers that it's okay to compress response bodies.
Any Response body declaring a [code]Content-Encoding[/code] of either [code]gzip[/code] or [code]deflate[/code] will then be automatically decompressed, and the uncompressed bytes will be delivered via [code]request_completed[/code].
If the user has specified their own [code]Accept-Encoding[/code] header, then no header will be added regardless of [code]accept_gzip[/code].
If [code]false[/code] no header will be added, and no decompression will be performed on response bodies. The raw bytes of the response body will be returned via [code]request_completed[/code].
</member>
<member name="body_size_limit" type="int" setter="set_body_size_limit" getter="get_body_size_limit" default="-1">
Maximum allowed size for response bodies. If the response body is compressed, this will be used as the maximum allowed size for the decompressed body.
</member>
<member name="download_chunk_size" type="int" setter="set_download_chunk_size" getter="get_download_chunk_size" default="65536">
The size of the buffer used and maximum bytes to read per iteration. See [member HTTPClient.read_chunk_size].
Set this to a lower value (e.g. 4096 for 4 KiB) when downloading small files to decrease memory usage at the cost of download speeds.
</member>
<member name="download_file" type="String" setter="set_download_file" getter="get_download_file" default="&quot;&quot;">
The file to download into. Will output any received file into it.

Maximum number of allowed redirects.
</member>
<member name="timeout" type="float" setter="set_timeout" getter="get_timeout" default="0.0">
If set to a value greater than [code]0.0[/code] before the request starts, the HTTP request will time out after [code]timeout[/code] seconds have passed and the request is not [i]completed[/i] yet. For small HTTP requests such as REST API usage, set [member timeout] to a value between [code]10.0[/code] and [code]30.0[/code] to prevent the application from getting stuck if the request fails to get a response in a timely manner. For file downloads, leave this to [code]0.0[/code] to prevent the download from failing if it takes too much time.

<member name="use_threads" type="bool" setter="set_use_threads" getter="is_using_threads" default="false">
If [code]true[/code], multithreading is used to improve performance.
