	</brief_description>
	<description>
		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.
		[b]Example of contacting a REST API and printing one of its returned fields:[/b]
		[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).
		    print(response.headers["User-Agent"])
		[/codeblock]
		[b]Example of loading and displaying an image using HTTPRequest:[/b]
		[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 a PNG image as of writing.
		    var error = http_request.request("https://via.placeholder.com/512")
		    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 image = Image.new()
		    var error = image.load_png_from_buffer(body)
		    if error != OK:
		        push_error("Couldn't load the image.")

		    var texture = ImageTexture.new()
		    texture.create_from_image(image)

		    # Display the image in a TextureRect node.
		    var texture_rect = TextureRect.new()
		    add_child(texture_rect)
		    texture_rect.texture = texture
		[/codeblock]

				Cancels the current request.

		<method name="get_body_size" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int">
			</return>
			<description>
				Returns the response body length.
				[b]Note:[/b] Some Web servers may not send a body length. In this case, the value returned will be [code]-1[/code]. If using chunked transfer encoding, the body length will also be [code]-1[/code].

		<method name="get_downloaded_bytes" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int">
			</return>
			<description>
				Returns the amount of bytes this HTTPRequest downloaded.

			<description>
				Creates request on the underlying [HTTPClient]. If there is no configuration errors, it tries to connect using [method HTTPClient.connect_to_host] and passes parameters onto [method HTTPClient.request].
				Returns [constant OK] if request is successfully created. (Does not imply that the server has responded), [constant ERR_UNCONFIGURED] if not in the tree, [constant ERR_BUSY] if still processing previous request, [constant ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER] if given string is not a valid URL format, or [constant ERR_CANT_CONNECT] if not using thread and the [HTTPClient] cannot connect to host.
