WPTools 8 includes the unit "wphttpget_unit", It implements a set of routines to load text, image data and style sheets over HTTP connections.
The interface unit requires the powerful HTTP library Arart Synapse. It is not included.
Info: The WPTools Demo does not include this unit.
The interface is attached to the WPTools Kernel using function pointers. This makes it possible to separate the HTTP support from the rest of the application and is an effective mean to avoid any security risks through open HTTP connection points.
In this demo (see directory Demos\Techniques\HTTPGet) we discuss how to implement a webbrowser like application, including history with forward and backwards buttons.
The HTTP interface can be temporarily disabled by setting the boolean variable wphttp_Disable = true.
