Get Method

Fetch the document using the HTTP GET method.

Syntax

http.get(URL, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property fetches the document using the HTTP GET method. The document contents are delivered through the Transfer event, and the HTTP response headers through the Header event. If LocalFile is not empty the data (not the headers) is written there as well.
