A node with the ability to send HTTP requests. Uses [HTTPClient] internally.
Can be used to make HTTP requests, i.e. download or upload files or web content via HTTP.

+ [codeblock]
+ func _ready():
+ # Create an HTTP request node and connect its completion signal.
+ var http_request = HTTPRequest.new()
+ add_child(http_request)
+ http_request.connect("request_completed", self, "_http_request_completed")
+
+ # Perform the HTTP request. The URL below returns some JSON as of writing.
+ var error = http_request.request("https://httpbin.org/get")
+ if error != OK:
+ push_error("An error occurred in the HTTP request.")
+
+
+ # Called when the HTTP request is completed.
+ func _http_request_completed(result, response_code, headers, body):
+ var response = parse_json(body.get_string_from_utf8())
+
+ # Will print the user agent string used by the HTTPRequest node (as recognized by httpbin.org).
