20\membersection{wxHTTP::GetResponse}\label{wxhttpgetresponse}
21
22\constfunc{int}{GetResponse}{\void}
23
24Returns the HTTP response code returned by the server. Please refer to the RFC
252616 for the list of the responses.

28\membersection{wxHTTP::GetInputStream}\label{wxhttpgetinputstream}
29
30\func{wxInputStream *}{GetInputStream}{\param{const wxString\&}{ path}}
31
32Creates a new input stream on the the specified path. You can use all except the seek
33functionality of wxStream. Seek isn't available on all streams. For example,
34http or ftp streams doesn't deal with it. Other functions like Tell and SeekI
35for this sort of stream.
36You will be notified when the EOF is reached by an error.
37
38\wxheading{Note}
39
40You can know the size of the file you are getting using \helpref{wxStreamBase::GetSize()}{wxstreambasegetsize}.
41But there is a limitation: as HTTP servers aren't obliged to pass the size of
42the file, in some case, you will be returned 0xfffffff by GetSize(). In these
43cases, you should use the value returned by \helpref{wxInputStream::LastRead()}{wxinputstreamlastread}:
44this value will be 0 when the stream is finished.
45
46\wxheading{Return value}
47
48Returns the initialized stream. You will have to delete it yourself once you
49don't use it anymore. The destructor closes the network connection.
50The next time you will try to get a file the network connection will have
51to be reestablished: but you don't have to take care of this wxHTTP reestablishes it automatically.

59\membersection{wxHTTP::SetHeader}
60
61\func{void}{SetHeader}{\param{const wxString\&}{ header}, \param{const wxString\&}{ h\_data}}
62
63It sets data of a field to be sent during the next request to the HTTP server. The field
64name is specified by {\it header} and the content by {\it h\_data}.
65This is a low level function and it assumes that you know what you are doing.
66
67\membersection{wxHTTP::GetHeader}
68
69\func{wxString}{GetHeader}{\param{const wxString\&}{ header}}
70
71Returns the data attached with a field whose name is specified by {\it header}.
72If the field doesn't exist, it will return an empty string and not a NULL string.
73
74\wxheading{Note}
75
76The header is not case-sensitive: I mean that "CONTENT-TYPE" and "content-type"
77represent the same header.
