Overview

The Coalesys HTTP Client is a free component which was created to address the needs of developers who wish to perform HTTP requests and examine HTTP responses using a simple, high performance COM object.

Implemented as an ActiveX DLL, the Coalesys HTTP Client was written entirely in Visual C++ and is dependency-free, not requiring any MFC, ATL or WinInet DLLs. It leverages the same technology found in the Coalesys Winsock Library.

With the Coalesys HTTP Client you can:

• Use any valid HTTP Request method (GET, HEAD, POST, etc.).

• Connect to a server on any port.

• Customize Request headers.

• Configure for use of a proxy server.

• Retrieve Response Status, Headers and Body as strings.

• Use in any compatible ActiveX environment, including those that do not support events (such as ASP).
