The following properties can be used to handle the response of an HTTP/HTTPS request:

| ContentType | Character string | Type of content for the received HTTP message. This property is read-only. |
| DescriptionStatusCode | Character string | Description of the StatusCode property. This property is read-only. |
| Header | Associative array of character strings | Key/Value set of received headers. |
| RoughHeader | Character string | Header that was returned with the response. This property is read-only. |
| StatusCode | Integer | Status of response. This property corresponds to one of the codes of HTTP protocol. The most common codes are: - 200: Request successfully processed
- 301: Document moved permanently
- 302: Document moved temporarily
- 403: The server understood the request but it refuses to run it.
- 404: Resource not found
