Namespace ot::web

Contains classes that extend the networking capabilities of OpenTop with facilities for creating advanced and high-performance HTTP and Web Services client applications. The web namespace permits applications to:-

perform HTTP requests using a full-featured and extensible framework
emulate Web browser form tranmission
re-use persistent HTTP connections
communicate via configurable HTTP proxy servers
transparently support secure (HTTPS) connections using SSL/TLS, including proxy tunnelling
use RFC-compliant HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1
use memory-efficient streaming of both input and output (POST) data
modify and extend the framework classes through the use of customized request handlers

Refer to the HttpClient class for an introduction to the facilities provided by the web namespace.
