Today: HTTPClient

I'm a facade for doing simple HTTP GET/POST operations like downloading / uploading some content.

For example, I get HTML content for http://www.pharo-project.org web page like this: HTTPClient httpGet: 'http://www.pharo-project.org'.

For example, I get HTML content for http://www.pharo-project.org web page like this:

HTTPClient httpGet: 'http://www.pharo-project.org'.
HTTPClient httpGetDocument: 'http://www.pharo-project.org'.

When successful, a Stream respectively a MIMEDocument is returned, in case of error, a String is returned.

It would be great to ilustrate post usage as well and delete class
method #examplePostArgs

I'm a facade for doing simple HTTP GET/POST operations like
downloading / uploading some content.

For example, I get HTML content for http://www.pharo-project.org web
page like this:

HTTPClient httpGet: 'http://www.pharo-project.org'.
HTTPClient httpGetDocument: 'http://www.pharo-project.org'.

Or, i can make a post request to http://www.pharo-project.org and send
data to the server like this:

args := Dictionary new.
args
at: 'arg1' put: #('val1');
at: 'arg2' put: #('val2').
result := HTTPClient httpPostDocument: 'http://www.pharo-project.org'
args: args.

When successful, a Stream respectively a MIMEDocument is returned, in
case of error, a String is returned.

I'm a good example of how not to write code. Turn around, walk away,
fast. I'm fully of bugs.

Somebody at some point thought that HTTP is a simple "hacker with
telnet"-protocol. It's not.

That's actually HTTPSocket, not HTTPClient.

I'm a facade for doing simple HTTP GET/POST operations like downloading / uploading some content.

For example, I get HTML content for http://www.pharo-project.org web page like this:

HTTPClient httpGet: 'http://www.pharo-project.org'.
HTTPClient httpGetDocument: 'http://www.pharo-project.org'.

When successful, a Stream respectively a MIMEDocument is returned, in case of error, a String is returned.

Or, I can make a application/x-www-form-urlencoded post request to http://intranet.acme.com/login and send form data to the server like this:

(args := Dictionary new)
at: 'username' put: #('[hidden email]');
at: 'password' put: #('secretpassword').
result := HTTPClient httpPostDocument: 'http://intranet.acme.com/login' args: args.

Alternatively, I can do a multipart/formdata post request to http://intranet.acme.com/files and send a file like this:

(args := Dictionary new)
at: 'file' put: (Array with: (MIMEDocument contents: 'This is a test' mimeType: 'text/plain' uri: 'file:///test.txt').
result := HTTPClient httpPostDocument: 'http://intranet.acme.com/files' args: args.

Although it is a negative comment, it is the truth.

Still, adding some comments and lowering the pain for others is still a good idea.

Re: [SPAM] Re: [COTDC] 3 - HTTPClient

Actually, can somebody explain the troll-mode comment? Why is the
HTTPClient an example of how not to write code? Should we not be using
this package in production? What does the comment about "hacker with
telnet"-protocol mean?
