12.4 HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

12.4.1 General

HTTP is the primary method of interchange between browsers and web servers. Legato supports limited functionality to access web servers via HTTP.

HTTP employs a number of ‘request methods’ or ‘verb’ to make a request to a web server. Of those verbs, Legato only supports the ‘GET’ verb.

Certificates, layering and all protocol management is performed by Windows WinInet. Higher level functions such as meta or script based redirects are not processed.

HTTPOpenConnection — Sets up for a connection to a specific server for HTTP traffic.
