Description

Manage and process HTTP response body data received from a remote server.

DownloadHandler objects are helper objects. When attached to a UnityWebRequest, they define how to handle HTTP response body data received from a remote server. Generally, they are used to buffer, stream and/or process response bodies.

DownloadHandler is a base class. Depending on usage scenario, different specialized classes are available. DownloadHandlerBuffer provides basic buffering, while DownloadHandlerTexture and DownloadHandlerAssetBundle provide more efficient solutions for Texture and AssetBundle downloads.

For custom use cases, see DownloadHandlerScript.

Additional resources: UnityWebRequest, DownloadHandlerBuffer, DownloadHandlerTexture, DownloadHandlerAudioClip, DownloadHandlerAssetBundle, DownloadHandlerScript.
