HTTP¶
query(array form_values) : string¶
Converts an associative array into a form-style string, used for e.g. application/x-www-form-urlencoded requests or HTTP query strings.
request(string url, string body, string method = 'GET', array headers, bool override = false, timeout = 5) : array¶
Sends a HTTP request and returns an array with the following keys containing response data:
content(contains a cURL error message in case of an error)status(nullin case of an error)headersurl
The headers should be an array of strings, for example:
To get a JSON document, validate if valid JSON, and get a property:
response = request('https://example.com')
decoded = json_decode(response['content'])
if (decoded) {
value = decoded['value']
}
If override is set to true, none of the content from the original request is included (e.g. query strings, headers, content.)

timeout specifies the request timeout in seconds.
The return value is an array with the following keys containing response data:
content(contains a cURL error message in case of an error)status(nullin case of an error)headersurl
Example:
multipart(
'https://example.com/file-upload', [
[
'name': 'file[]',
'filename': 'file1.txt',
'content': 'hello world',
'headers': ['Header1': 'value', 'Header2': 'othervalue']
