    Methods

    CreateCookieContainer(bool)

    Creates a cookie container handle which you must later free with ReleaseCookieContainer(). If bAllowResponsesToModify=true than any response to your requests using this cookie container may add new cookies which may be transmitted with future requests. If bAllowResponsesToModify=false than only cookies you explicitly set will be sent. This API is just for during process lifetime, after steam restarts no cookies are persisted and you have no way to access the cookie container across repeat executions of your process.

    Declaration
    public static HTTPCookieContainerHandle CreateCookieContainer(bool bAllowResponsesToModify)
    Parameters
    Type Name Description
    bool bAllowResponsesToModify

    Passed through to ISteamHTTP::CreateCookieContainer.

    Returns
    Type Description
    HTTPCookieContainerHandle

    The value ISteamHTTP::CreateCookieContainer returns.

    CreateHTTPRequest(EHTTPMethod, string)

    Initializes a new HTTP request, returning a handle to use in further operations on it. Requires the method (GET or POST) and the absolute URL for the request. Both http and https are supported, so this string must start with http:// or https:// and should look like http://store.steampowered.com/app/250/ or such.

    Declaration
    public static HTTPRequestHandle CreateHTTPRequest(EHTTPMethod eHTTPRequestMethod, string pchAbsoluteURL)
    Parameters
    Type Name Description
    EHTTPMethod eHTTPRequestMethod

    Passed through to ISteamHTTP::CreateHTTPRequest.

    string pchAbsoluteURL

    Passed through to ISteamHTTP::CreateHTTPRequest.

    Returns
    Type Description
    HTTPRequestHandle

    The value ISteamHTTP::CreateHTTPRequest returns.

    DeferHTTPRequest(HTTPRequestHandle)

    Defers a request you have sent, the actual HTTP client code may have many requests queued, and this will move the specified request to the tail of the queue. Returns false on invalid handle, or if the request is not yet sent.

    Declaration
    public static bool DeferHTTPRequest(HTTPRequestHandle hRequest)
    Parameters
    Type Name Description
    HTTPRequestHandle hRequest

    Passed through to ISteamHTTP::DeferHTTPRequest.

    Returns
    Type Description
    bool

    GetHTTPDownloadProgressPct(HTTPRequestHandle, out float)

    Gets progress on downloading the body for the request. This will be zero unless a response header has already been received which included a content-length field. For responses that contain no content-length it will report zero for the duration of the request as the size is unknown until the connection closes.
