Http Client in AngelScript

Here’s the translation of the HTTP Client example from Go to AngelScript, formatted in Markdown suitable for Hugo:

// The AngelScript standard library doesn't have built-in HTTP client functionality,
// so we'll use a hypothetical 'net' module for this example.
import net;
import string;

void main()
{
    // Issue an HTTP GET request to a server. We'll use a hypothetical HTTPClient class
    // from our 'net' module to make the request.
    HTTPClient@ client = HTTPClient();
    HTTPResponse@ resp = client.Get("https://gobyexample.com");
    if (resp is null)
    {
        print("Failed to get response");
        return;
    }

    // Print the HTTP response status.
    print("Response status: " + resp.status);

    // Print the first 5 lines of the response body.
    array<string> lines = resp.body.split("\n");
    for (int i = 0; i < 5 && i < lines.length(); i++)
    {
        print(lines[i]);
    }
}

This example demonstrates how to make an HTTP GET request and process the response in AngelScript. Here’s a breakdown of what’s happening:

We import a hypothetical ’net’ module that provides HTTP client functionality, and the ‘string’ module for string operations.
In the main() function, we create an HTTPClient object and use it to make a GET request to “https://gobyexample.com”.
We check if the response is null, which would indicate a failure in the request.
If the request is successful, we print the response status.
We then split the response body into lines and print the first 5 lines.

Note that AngelScript doesn’t have built-in HTTP client functionality, so this example assumes the existence of a net module with an HTTPClient class and an HTTPResponse class. In a real AngelScript environment, you would need to implement these or use a third-party library that provides HTTP client functionality.

To run this program, you would save it as http_client.as and use your AngelScript interpreter:

$ angelscript http_client.as
Response status: 200 OK
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">

This example demonstrates basic HTTP client operations in AngelScript, including making a request and processing the response.
