29\membersection{wxHTTP::GetResponse}\label{wxhttpgetresponse}
30
31\constfunc{int}{GetResponse}{\void}
32
33Returns the HTTP response code returned by the server. Please refer to
34\urlref{RFC 2616}{http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616.html} for the list of responses.

37\membersection{wxHTTP::GetInputStream}\label{wxhttpgetinputstream}
38
39\func{wxInputStream *}{GetInputStream}{\param{const wxString\&}{ path}}
40
41Creates a new input stream on the specified path. Notice that this stream is
42unseekable, i.e. SeekI() and TellI() methods shouldn't be used.
43
44Note that you can still know the size of the file you are getting using
45\helpref{wxStreamBase::GetSize()}{wxstreambasegetsize}. However there is a
46limitation: in HTTP protocol, the size is not always specified so sometimes
47\texttt{(size\_t)-1} can returned ot indicate that the size is unknown. In such
48case, you may want to use \helpref{wxInputStream::LastRead()}{wxinputstreamlastread}
49method in a loop to get the total size.
50
51\wxheading{Return value}
52
53Returns the initialized stream. You must delete it yourself once you
54don't use it anymore and this must be done before the wxHTTP object itself is
55destroyed. The destructor closes the network connection. The next time you will
56try to get a file the network connection will have to be reestablished, but you
57don't have to take care of this since wxHTTP reestablishes it automatically.

65\membersection{wxHTTP::SetHeader}\label{wxhttpsetheader}
66
67\func{void}{SetHeader}{\param{const wxString\&}{ header}, \param{const wxString\&}{ h\_data}}
68
69It sets data of a field to be sent during the next request to the HTTP server. The field
70name is specified by {\it header} and the content by {\it h\_data}.
71This is a low level function and it assumes that you know what you are doing.
72
73\membersection{wxHTTP::GetHeader}\label{wxhttpgetheader}
74
75\func{wxString}{GetHeader}{\param{const wxString\&}{ header}}
76
77Returns the data attached with a field whose name is specified by {\it header}.
78If the field doesn't exist, it will return an empty string and not a NULL string.
79
80\wxheading{Note}
81
82The header is not case-sensitive, i.e. "CONTENT-TYPE" and "content-type"
83represent the same header.
