HTTP Request Description

The Http Request ActiveX control provides the request data to be sent to the server with the POST or GET methods. This component only prepares the HTTP request data. It does not send it over the HTTP protocol.

Http Request is an independent stand-alone component. So it is possible to use it with any other http client engines / components for composing Web HTTP requests formatted according to RFC standards: RFC 1867, RFC 1521

Please see the Demos code (FormPost, SubmitFile, SubmitWizard) and also the indexed Help documentation provided with the Clever Internet ActiveX Suite installation for more details about using this control.
