Object HttpRequest
Description:
HttpRequest is an object that can be used to transfer data between a Web client and a Web server..
The client can use this object to send any HTTP request. This object has multiple versions. This documentation only describes the interface for versions
MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0 and
MSXML2.XMLHTTP.6.0.
The
MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0 version has additional methods, that allow communication authentication using user certificates.
Any data format can be received or sent. In the case of receiving data in the
