Send HTTP Requests with READ and WRITE

Send HTTP Requests with READ and WRITE

READ and WRITE can be used to send HTTP requests.

The default behavior for WRITE is to assume the post data should be considered as application/x-www-form-urlencoded, this can be changed by setting the http headers.

Spec

read | write url [
	POST | PUT | GET			 ;-- http method: POST, PUT and GET (word!)
	headers [					 ;-- (optional) http header fields (block!)
		name: value 			 ;-- name (any-word!), value (any-string!)
		...
	]
	options [					 ;-- (optional) http request options (block!)
		redirect?: true | false  ;-- TRUE by default
		timeout: value           ;-- set timeout: value (integer!)
	]
	data						 ;-- (optional) data to be sent (string! binary!)
]

Examples

read http://httpbin.org/get                             ;-- GET request

read http://httpbin.org/get [                           ;-- GET request with custom headers
	GET
	headers [
		Content-type: "text/x-x"
		Header-Test: "abc"
	]
]

write http://httpbin.org/post #{abcd1234}              ;-- POST request

write http://httpbin.org/post [POST #{abcd1234}]       ;-- same as the write command above

write http://httpbin.org/post [
	POST
	headers [
		Content-type: "text/x-x"
		Header-Test: "abc"
	]
	options [
		redirect?: no
	]
	"test 123"
]
