For HTTP, the underlying Smalltalk/X framework already provides classes to implement both HTTP-client and HTTP-server code. Detailed information is found in the online documentation and/or the source code itself.
Also, the standard library contains blocks to send HTTP requests and to setup a server which responds to incoming HTTP requests.
Programmatic API:
From within an elementary action, HTTP requests are initiated via the HTTPInterface class, which provides (among many more) the following protocol:
- get:urlString
Retrieve a document. Returns a response object containing detailed status info and (if OK) the retrieved data. This is a convenience entry for the basic request: below.
- get:urlOrPath fromHost:host port:portNrOrNil
accept:acceptedMimeTypes
