httpdel

httpdel


Purpose
Perform an HTTP DELETE request.
Synopsis
function httpdel(url:string|text, result:string):integer
function httpdel(url:string|text, result:string, xhdr:string|text):integer
Arguments
url 
URL to process
result 
File to store the result of the request
xhdr 
Additional headers to add to the request
Return value
HTTP status of the request ( e.g. 200 for success, see Section Constants for a list of predefined status code constants; value 999 indicates that an I/O error occurred during the operation) or the request number (≥1000) if the asynchronous mode is active
Further information
1. The function returns after the request has been processed when synchronous mode is active (see http_async). Otherwise, using asynchronous mode, the function returns immediately after having sent the request and the model is notified about the completion of the operation by an event of class EVENT_HTTPEND. In this mode the result file result must be a physical file (although drivers "tmp:" and "null:" can still be used).
2. When cookie management is enabled (see http_cookies) an additional header "Cookie:" is inserted into the request if the cookie store contains compatible cookies. This behaviour is disabled if this optional header is already specified via the parameter xhdr.
