To retrieve simple data such as textual data or binary data from a standard HTTP or HTTPS web server, use the UnityWebRequest.GET
call. This function takes a single string as an argument, with the string specifying the URL from which data is retrieved.
This function is analogous to the standard WWW constructor:
WWW myWww = new WWW("http://www.myserver.com/foo.txt");
// ... is analogous to ...
UnityWebRequest myWr = UnityWebRequest.Get("http://www.myserver.com/foo.txt");
UnityWebRequest
and sets the target URL to the string argument. It sets no other custom flags or headers.DownloadHandlerBuffer
to the UnityWebRequest
. This handler buffers the data received from the server and make it available to your scripts when the request is complete.UploadHandler
to the UnityWebRequest
. You can attach one manually if you wish.using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.Networking;
public class MyBehaviour : MonoBehaviour {
void Start() {
StartCoroutine(GetText());
}
IEnumerator GetText() {
UnityWebRequest www = UnityWebRequest.Get("http://www.my-server.com");
yield return www.SendWebRequest();
if(www.isNetworkError || www.isHttpError) {
Debug.Log(www.error);
}
else {
// Show results as text
Debug.Log(www.downloadHandler.text);
// Or retrieve results as binary data
byte[] results = www.downloadHandler.data;
}
}
}
