The HTTPClient object is a base object for sending HTTP requests and receiving HTTP responses from a resource identified by a URI. Compared to the Inet object, the HTTPClient object is easier to use and supports more methods (Get/Post/Put/Delete) and more SSL protocols (TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, SSL 2.0, and SSL 3.0).
Note
It is not recommended to use this object to process large data (20 MB or 100,000 data rows can be considered as large data based on our tests), because this object will call a third-party library which is memory intensive. If you want to process large data using HTTPClient, it is recommended that you disable the AutoReadData property (by default it is enabled) and use the ReadData function. See a code example in ReadData for how to process large data.
Note
This object cannot be referenced in .NET Web Service or .NET Assembly components, otherwise the component will fail to be deployed.
