HTTP Functions

The methods described in this section are used to create and control an HTTP session. Open an HTTP session using the HTTP method on an Internet connection object:

use Win32::Internet;
$inet = new Win32::Internet(  );
$inet->HTTP($http, "hostname", "username", "password");

This opens the session and creates the HTTP session object $http. The following methods can be used on HTTP session objects.
