Sends an HTTP request and waits for the response from the HTTP server.
Syntax

Syntax with an httpRequest variable Hide the details

<HTTP response> = <HTTP request>.Sends()
<HTTP response>: httpResponse variable
Name of the httpResponse variable containing the response received from the HTTP server.
<HTTP request>: httpRequest variable
Name of the httpRequest variable that contains the characteristics of the HTTP request to be sent to the server.
Remarks

Notes

  • To find out the runtime errors of this function, use ErrorOccurred and ErrorInfo.
  • If cookies have been implemented for the specified request (<httpRequest variable>.ManageCookie), they are updated in the httpRequest variable after the call to <httpRequest variable>.Send. Therefore, during the next call to <httpRequest variable>.Send with this request, the cookies will be taken into account.
  • From version 21, the redirections are automatically taken into account in the HTTP requests. To manually process redirections in HTTP requests, you must use the IgnoreError property of the httpRequest variable with the httpIgnoreRedirection constant.

Security error in a secure transaction

During a secure transaction, the request may fail due to security errors:
  • invalid certificate or certificate coming from an unknown company.
  • the site name specified in the certificate does not correspond to a server.
  • invalid or expired certificate date.
  • redirection to a non-secure server.
These errors are returned by ErrorInfo.
If one of these errors occurs, you can re-run the request while ignoring the errors. To do so, simply modify the IgnoreError property of the httpRequest variable:
Error returned by ErrorInfo
(with the errCode constant)
Value of the IgnoreError property of the httpRequest variable
(these values can be combined)
Description

httpIgnoreInvalidCertificateThe certificate is ignored.
httpErrorInvalidCertificateName
The site name specified in the certificate does not correspond to a server
httpIgnoreInvalidCertificateNameThe site name specified in the certificate is ignored.

httpErrorRedirectToHTTP

httpIgnoreRedirectToHTTPS
