Provides methods to communicate with web servers.
UnityWebRequest handles the flow of HTTP communication with web servers. To download and upload data, use DownloadHandler and UploadHandler respectively.
UnityWebRequest includes static utility functions that return UnityWebRequest instances configured for common use cases. For example:
UnityWebRequest.Get
UnityWebRequest.Post
UnityWebRequest.Put
To send a web request from a UnityWebRequest instance, call UnityWebRequest.SendWebRequest. After the UnityWebRequest begins to communicate with a remote server, you can't change any of the properties in that UnityWebRequest instance.
HTTPS is supported, server certificate is validated against the root certificate store available on the system the app runs on. Validation can be disabled (for example for development server using self-signed certificate) or changed to a custom handling by assigning UnityWebRequest.certificateHandler property.
Depending on the platform your application runs on, UnityWebRequest either sets the User-Agent header itself or leaves it for the operating system to set. UnityWebRequest sets the User-Agent header for all platforms except iOS, Xbox platforms, and WebGL.
Note: From Unity 2019.2, UnityWebRequest sets the User-Agent header for Android devices. In earlier releases, the operating system set the User-Agent header.
Note: If the device that the application runs on uses proxy settings, UnityWebRequest applies the proxy settings after the application sends the request.

| downloadProgress | Returns a floating-point value between 0.0 and 1.0, indicating the progress of downloading body data from the server. (Read Only) |
| error | A human-readable string describing any system errors encountered by this UnityWebRequest object while handling HTTP requests or responses. (Read Only) |
| isDone | Returns true after the UnityWebRequest has finished communicating with the remote server. (Read Only) |
| isModifiable | Returns true while a UnityWebRequest’s configuration properties can be altered. (Read Only) |
| method | Defines the HTTP verb used by this UnityWebRequest, such as GET or POST. |
| redirectLimit | Indicates the number of redirects which this UnityWebRequest will follow before halting with a “Redirect Limit Exceeded” system error. |
| responseCode | The numeric HTTP response code returned by the server, such as 200, 404 or 500. (Read Only) |
| result | The result of this UnityWebRequest. |
| timeout | Sets UnityWebRequest to attempt to abort after the number of seconds in timeout have passed. |

| useHttpContinue | Determines whether this UnityWebRequest will include Expect: 100-Continue in its outgoing request headers. (Default: true). |
| UnityWebRequest | Creates a UnityWebRequest with the default options and no attached DownloadHandler or UploadHandler. Default method is GET. |
| Abort | If in progress, halts the UnityWebRequest as soon as possible. |
| Dispose | Signals that this UnityWebRequest is no longer being used, and should clean up any resources it is using. |
| GetRequestHeader | Retrieves the value of a custom request header. |
| GetResponseHeader | Retrieves the value of a response header from the latest HTTP response received. |
