HTTPConnection Class Reference

Use HTTPConnection to communicate with a web server. Start an instance of TCPInterface via the Start() command. Instantiate a new instance of HTTPConnection, and associate TCPInterface with the class in the constructor. Use Post() to send commands to the web server, and ProcessDataPacket() to update the connection with packets returned from TCPInterface that have the system address of the web server This class will handle connecting and reconnecting as necessary.
