Parameters

url The url to download. Must be '%' escaped.

Returns

void A new WWW object. When it has been downloaded, the results can be fetched from the returned object.

Description

Creates a WWW request with the given URL.

This function creates and sends a GET request. The stream will automatically start downloading the response.
