Overview

The Coalesys HTTP Client Library is a free component which was created to address the needs of software developers who wish to perform HTTP requests and examine HTTP responses using a simple, high-performance COM object.

Implemented as a COM Automation DLL, the HTTP Client Library was written in Visual C++ and is dependency-free, not requiring any MFC, ATL or WinInet DLLs. Internally, the component is built directly on top of the Coalesys Winsock Library.

With the HTTP Client Library you can:

• Use any HTTP Request method (GET, HEAD, POST, etc).

• Customize the HTTP Request headers.

• Connect to a server on any port.

• Configure for use with a basic proxy server.

• Retrieve HTTP Response Status, Headers and Body elements.

• Use in any compatible COM Automation development environment.
