Description
This class provides a standard HTTP functionality.
Functions

`<id:integer>$get(<remote_path:string>,[<local_file: string>])`
Sends a get request for path to the server set by $setHost. If local_file is not specified readyRead() signal is emitted every time new content data is available to read.
`<id:integer>$post(<remote_path:string>,<post_data:string>,<local_file: string>`
Sends a post request for path to the server set by $setHost. If local_file is not specified readyRead() signal is emitted every time new content data is available to read.
`$abort()`
Aborts the current request and deletes all scheduled requests.
`<id:integer>$setHost(<host:string>,<remote_port:unsigned_integer>)`

Sets the HTTP server that is used for requests to hostName on port port. The function does not block: the request is scheduled, and its execution is performed asynchronously. The function returns a unique identifier which is passed by [classfnc]requestStartedEvent()[/classfnc] and [classfnc]requestFinishedEvent()[/classfnc]. When the request is started the requestStarted() signal is emitted. When it is finished the requestFinished() signal is emitted.

`<id:integer>$currentId()`
Returns the identifier of the HTTP request being executed or 0 if there is no request being executed.
`<id:integer> $setProxy(<host:string>,<port:integer>,[<user:string>,<password:string>])`
Enables HTTP proxy support, using the proxy server host on port port. Optionals parameters user and password can be provided if the proxy server requires authentication.
`<id:integer> $setUser(<user:string>,<password:string>)`
This function sets the user name userName and password password for web pages that require authentication.
`<string> $readAll()`
Reads all the bytes from the response content and returns them as string.
`<error:string> $errorString()`
Returns a human-readable description of the last error that occurred.
`$ignoreSslErrors()`
`$requestFinishedEvent(<id:integer>,<error:boolean>)`
This event is triggered by KVIrc when the request identified by <id> has finished.
`$requestStartedEvent(<id:integer>,<error:boolean>)`
This event is triggered by KVIrc when the request identified by <id> has started.
`$responseHeaderReceivedEvent(<response:string>)`
This event is triggered by KVIrc when he HTTP header of a server response is available. The response is passed ad string.
`$doneEvent(<error:boolean>)`
This event is triggered when the last pending request has finished; (it is emitted after the last request's requestFinished() signal).
`$dataReadProgressEvent(<done:integer>,<total:integer>)`
This event is triggered when reads data from a HTTP server. <done> is the amount of data has already arrived and <total> is the total amount of data.
`$dataSendProgressEvent(<done:integer>,<total:integer>)`
This event is triggered when sends data to a HTTP server. <done> is the amount of data has already arrived and <total> is the total amount of data.
`$stateChangedEvent(<connection_state:string>)`
This event is triggered by the framework when the state of the connection changes.
`$readyReadEvent(<response:string>)`
This event is triggered by the framework when there is new data read and there is not file specified in [classfnc]get[/classfunc] or [classfnc]post[/classfunc]. You can call [classfnc]readAll[/classfnc] to reads all the bytes from the response data.
`$sslErrorsEvent(<sslerrors:string>)`
Returns the list of errors that occurred during the SSL handshake. Unless you call ignoreSslErrors() from within a slot connected to the signal emited by this event, the framwork will tear down the connection immediately after emitting the signal.
