HTTP Client Control

The HTTP (Hypertext Transport Protocol) control implements the HTTP protocol client based on the HTTP specification.

Remarks

The HTTP control lets you directly retrieve HTTP documents if no browsing or image processing is necessary.

It can be used by developers who implement HTML browsers or other services that need access to HTTP. For example, the HTML control internally instantiates this object and uses it for HTTP transactions.

The HTTP control uses a number of methods to retrieve or send (post) a document. It can retrieve MIME information about the document from the Headers collection property.
