connect

Opens the HTTP connection and passes the object into "keep-alive" mode


            connect ( [hasProxy ] [, async ])

Parameters

hasProxy

Boolean to true if you need to use a proxy HTTP. By default set to false.

async

Boolean set to true if the connection is destined to execute an asynchronous query. Set to false by default.

Return value

None.

Remarks

If the HTTP connection fails, an exception is raised. The response property only becomes valid after a successful call to the execute function. Don't forget to call disconnect() once you've finished using the connection. Example:

// Mistake with the hostname gogle instead of google
var badHttp = new HttpClientRequest("www.gogle.fr");
try {
  badHttp.connect();
} catch (e) {
  // Here an exception has been raised
}

var goodHttp = new HttpClientRequest("www.google.fr");
try {
  goodHttp.connect();
} catch (e) {
  // No exeception raised
}
...
goodHttp.disconnect();
