Also applies to ColdFusion
You use the CF.http ActionScript function to retrieve information from a remote HTTP server using HTTP Get and Post methods, as follows:
- Using the Get method, you send information to the remote server directly in the URL. This method is common for a one-way transaction in which the CF.http function retrieves an object, such as the contents of a web page.
- The Post method can pass variables to a form or CGI program, and can also create HTTP cookies.
The most basic way to use the CF.http function is to use it with the Get method argument to retrieve a page from a specified URL. The Get method is the default for the CF.http function.
The following server-side example retrieves file content from the specified URL:
function basicGet(url) |
The client-side example could look like the following:
| #include "NetServices.as" NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("http://mycfserver:8500"); gatewayConnnection = NetServices.createGatewayConnection(); myHttp = gatewayConnnection.getService("httpFuncs", this); // This is the server-side function invocation url = "http://anyserver.com"; myHttp.basicGet(url); // Create the results function function basicGet_Result() { url = "http://anyserver.com ssasFile.basicGet(url) } |
