Http

function Http: TvxHTTP;

Example​

procedure ScriptEvent(var Value: variant);
begin
  { Accessing the helper creates/returns the client but sends no request. }
  Value := Http.URL;
end;

Usage​

Http provides the current Velox HTTP client. Configure its URL, authentication, headers and request content, then call Get, Post, Put, Patch, Delete, Options, Head, Trace or CustomRequest to make a network request and inspect the response properties afterward.

The client retains settings and response state between calls. Clear or replace headers, credentials and content before an unrelated request so values are not reused accidentally. During custom HTTP transport processing, it can represent the transport's current client, so changes can also affect that surrounding transport operation. Do not free the object.

Additional Technical Info​

Http is a no-argument Velox scripting helper that returns a live object. It does not copy the object or make the returned reference private to the calling statement.

Failures, safety and implementation cautions

Restrict outbound schemes/hosts/ports to prevent SSRF, require appropriate TLS/certificate policy, set timeouts and size limits, and never log passwords, secrets, tokens or sensitive bodies. Clear authentication/state before unrelated destinations. Treat response codes, headers and content as untrusted; handle network exceptions and partial remote effects.

Class methods can raise on invalid state, parsing/conversion failures, I/O errors or invalid arguments unless their own contract documents a different result. Copy required scalar results before another script or operation can replace mutable state.
