Overview

The HTTP API provides functions for communication with server according to the HTTP protocol. Using the HTTP APIs, you can implement features that allow the users of your application to:

Manage HTTP session
Manage HTTP transaction
Send/Receive HTTP request/response

Related Features

This API is related with the following features:

http://tizen.org/feature/network.internet
It is recommended to design feature related codes in your application for reliability.
You can check if a device supports the related features for this API by using System Information, thereby controlling the procedure of your application.
To ensure your application is only running on the device with specific features, please define the features in your manifest file using the manifest editor in the SDK.
More details on featuring your application can be found from Feature List.
