Common Lisp

CLISP provides an extension function to read http sources. Other implementations may do this differently.

Works with: CLISP

<lang lisp> (defun wget-clisp (url)

   (ext:with-http-input (stream url)
       (loop for line = (read-line stream nil nil)
           while line
           do (format t "~a~%" line))))

</lang>

Library: DRAKMA

First grabbing the entire body as a string, and then by pulling from a stream (as in the CLISP example).

<lang lisp> (defun wget-drakma-string (url &optional (out *standard-output*))

 "Grab the body as a string, and write it to out."
 (write-string (drakma:http-request url) out))

(defun wget-drakma-stream (url &optional (out *standard-output*))

 "Grab the body as a stream, and write it to out."
 (loop with body = (drakma:http-request url :want-stream t)
       for line = (read-line body nil nil)
       while line do (write-line line out)
       finally (close body)))

</lang>

Crystal

<lang crystal> require "http/client"

HTTP::Client.get("http://google.com") </lang>

D

Library: phobos

<lang D> void main() {

 import std.stdio, std.net.curl;
 writeln(get("http://google.com"));

} </lang>

Library: tango

<lang D> import tango.io.Console; import tango.net.http.HttpGet;

void main() {

 Cout.stream.copy( (new HttpGet("http://google.com")).open );

} </lang>

Or more operating directly on the socket:

<lang D> import tango.io.Console; import tango.net.InternetAddress; import tango.net.device.Socket;

void main() {

 auto site = new Socket;
 site.connect (new InternetAddress("google.com",80)).write ("GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n");
 Cout.stream.copy (site);

} </lang>

Dart

Using the stand-alone VM: <lang d>import 'dart:io'; void main(){

 var url = 'http://rosettacode.org';
 var client = new HttpClient();
 client.getUrl(Uri.parse(url))
       .then((HttpClientRequest request)   => request.close())
       .then((HttpClientResponse response) => response.pipe(stdout));

}</lang>

Delphi

Simple example using the free Synapse TCP/IP library [1]

<lang Delphi> program HTTP;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

{$DEFINE DEBUG}

uses

 Classes,
 httpsend; // Synapse httpsend class

var

 Response: TStrings;
 HTTPObj: THTTPSend;

begin

 HTTPObj := THTTPSend.Create;
 try
   { Stringlist object to capture HTML returned
     from URL }
   Response := TStringList.Create;
   try
     if HTTPObj.HTTPMethod('GET','http://www.mgis.uk.com') then
       begin
         { Load HTTP Document into Stringlist }
         Response.LoadFromStream(HTTPObj.Document);
         { Write the response to the console window }
         Writeln(Response.Text);
       end
       else
       Writeln('Error retrieving data');
   finally
     Response.Free;
   end;
 finally
   HTTPObj.Free;
 end;
 // Keep console window open
 Readln;

end. </lang>


Using Indy:

<lang Delphi> program ShowHTTP;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

uses IdHttp;

var

 s: string;
 lHTTP: TIdHTTP;

begin

 lHTTP := TIdHTTP.Create(nil);
 try
   lHTTP.HandleRedirects := True;
   s := lHTTP.Get('http://www.rosettacode.org');
   Writeln(s);
 finally
   lHTTP.Free;
 end;

end. </lang>

EchoLisp

file->string usage: the server must allow cross-domain access, or a browser add-on like cors-everywhere must be installed to bypass cross-domain checking. <lang scheme>

asynchronous call back definition

(file->string success "http://www.google.com") </lang>

Emacs Lisp

url.el can download HTTP. url-retrieve-synchronously returns a buffer containing headers and body. Caller kills the buffer when no longer required.

<lang Lisp>(with-current-buffer

   (url-retrieve-synchronously "http://www.rosettacode.org")
 (goto-char (point-min))
 (search-forward "\n\n" nil t)  ;; skip headers
 (prin1 (buffer-substring (point) (point-max)))
 (kill-buffer (current-buffer)))</lang>

Erlang

Synchronous

<lang erlang> -module(main). -export([main/1]).

main([Url|[]]) ->

  inets:start(),
  case http:request(Url) of
      {ok, {_V, _H, Body}} -> io:fwrite("~p~n",[Body]);
      {error, Res} -> io:fwrite("~p~n", [Res])

In F# we can just use the .NET library to do this so its the same as the C# example.

<lang fsharp> let wget (url : string) =

   use c = new System.Net.WebClient()
   c.DownloadString(url)

printfn "%s" (wget "http://www.rosettacode.org/") </lang>

However unlike C#, F# can use an asynchronous workflow to avoid blocking any threads while waiting for a response from the server. To asynchronously download three url's at once...

<lang fsharp> open System.Net open System.IO

let wgetAsync url =

   async { let request = WebRequest.Create (url:string)
           use! response = request.AsyncGetResponse()
           use responseStream = response.GetResponseStream()
           use reader = new StreamReader(responseStream)
           return reader.ReadToEnd() }

let urls = ["http://www.rosettacode.org/"; "http://www.yahoo.com/"; "http://www.google.com/"] let content = urls

             |> List.map wgetAsync
             |> Async.Parallel
             |> Async.RunSynchronously</lang>

Lingo

HTTP requests based on Director's native HTTP facilities - i.e. without using a 3rd party plugin ("Xtra") - are asynchronous. A simple implementation of a HTTP GET request might look like this:

Parent script "SimpleHttpGet": <lang lingo>property _netID property _cbHandler property _cbTarget


-- Simple HTTP GET request -- @param {string} url -- @param {symbol} cbHandler -- @param {object} [cbTarget=_movie]


on new (me, url, cbHandler, cbTarget)

 if voidP(cbTarget) then cbTarget = _movie
 me._netID = getNetText(url)
 me._cbHandler = cbHandler
 me._cbTarget = cbTarget
 _movie.actorList.add(me)
 return me

end


-- @callback


on stepFrame (me)

 if netDone(me._netID) then
   res = netTextResult(me._netID)
   err = netError(me._netID)
   _movie.actorList.deleteOne(me)
   call(me._cbHandler, me._cbTarget, res, err)
 end if

end</lang>

In some movie script: <lang lingo>---------------------------------------- --


on getAdobeHomePage ()

 script("SimpleHttpGet").new("http://www.adobe.com/", #printResult)

end


-- @callback


on printResult (res, err)

 if err="OK" then
   put res
 else
   put "Network Error:" && err
 end if

end</lang>

Executed in the "Message Window" (=Director's interactive Lingo console): <lang lingo>getAdobeHomePage() -- "<!doctype html> ...</lang>

LiveCode

Without a callback handler the get URL method will block until complete <lang LiveCode>put true into libURLFollowHttpRedirects get URL "http://httpbin.org/html" put it</lang> Non-blocking version <lang LiveCode>on myUrlDownloadFinished

M2000 Interpreter

We use Async read from Microsoft.XMLHTTP So we use Threads (duration is in millisecond) M2000 can use COM objects, using Declare, Method and With statements. Using With statement we can make objects properties like ReadyState as variables (some of them as read only)

<lang M2000 Interpreter> Module CheckIt {

     Declare  xml "Microsoft.XMLHTTP"
     const testUrl$ = "http://www.rosettacode.org"
     With  xml, "readyState" as ReadyState
     Method xml "Open", "Get", testUrl$, True  ' True means Async
     Method xml "send"
     \\ We set a thread to count time
     k=0
     Thread {
           k++
     }  as TimeOut interval 100
     \\ In main thread we can check ReadyState and Mouse button
     Task.Main 100 {
           Print ReadyState
           If ReadyState=4 then exit
           if k>20 then exit   ' 20*100= 2 sec
           if mouse then exit ' exit if mouse click
     }
     \\ So now we can read
     if ReadyState=4 then {
           With  xml, "responseText" AS AA$
           \\ break AA$ to lines
           Document BB$=AA$
           \\ using line breaks as CRLF
           Report BB$

Maple

In Maple 18 or later: <lang Maple> content := URL:-Get( "http://www.google.com/" ); </lang>

In Maple 17 or earlier: <lang Maple> content := HTTP:-Get( "http://www.google.com/" ); </lang>

Mathematica / Wolfram Language

<lang Mathematica> Print[Import["http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en", "Source"]] </lang>

MATLAB / Octave

urlread is MATLAB's function for making URL requests. The documentation for Octave is available here urlread.

In this example we initiate an HTTP request for a single random number from random.org: <lang MATLAB> >> random = urlread('http://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=1&max=100&col=1&base=10&format=plain&rnd=new')

random =

61 </lang>

It is possible to make more complicated requests, specifically "GET" and "POST," which is explained in the documentation.

Oz

When creating a file object, it is possible to specify an URL instead of a filename: <lang oz> declare

 fun {GetPage Url}
    F = {New Open.file init(url:Url)}
    Contents = {F read(list:$ size:all)}
 in
    {F close}
    Contents
 end

in

 {System.showInfo {GetPage "http://www.rosettacode.org"}}

</lang>

Library: OzHttpClient

If you need more fine-grained control of the request, you could use a custom library: <lang oz> declare

 [HTTPClient] = {Module.link ['x-ozlib://mesaros/net/HTTPClient.ozf']}
 fun {GetPage Url}
    Client = {New HTTPClient.urlGET

init(inPrms(toFile:false toStrm:true) httpReqPrms )}

    OutParams
    HttpResponseParams
 in
    {Client getService(Url ?OutParams ?HttpResponseParams)}

    OutParams.sOut
 end

Perl

Core example

Library: HTTP/Tiny
Works with: Perl version 5.14
Works with: Perl/HTTP/Tiny

This sample is nearly identical to the LWP sample except that it uses HTTP::Tiny which was added to the core libraries in Perl/5.14.

<lang perl>use strict; use warnings; require 5.014; # check HTTP::Tiny part of core use HTTP::Tiny;

print( HTTP::Tiny->new()->get( 'http://rosettacode.org')->{content} );</lang>

Library examples

Library: LWP

Works with: Perl/LWP

Classic LWP sample.

<lang perl>use LWP::Simple qw/get $ua/; $ua->agent(undef) ; # cloudflare blocks default LWP agent print( get("http://www.rosettacode.org") );</lang>

or with more error-checking

<lang perl>use strict; use LWP::UserAgent;

my $url = 'http://www.rosettacode.org'; my $response = LWP::UserAgent->new->get( $url );

$response->is_success or die "Failed to GET '$url': ", $response->status_line;

print $response->as_string</lang>

Phix

Library: libcurl

Note that curl_easy_get_file() is better suited to multi-megabyte downloads than curl_easy_perform_ex(). <lang Phix>include builtins\libcurl.e curl_global_init() atom curl = curl_easy_init() curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://rosettacode.org/robots.txt") object res = curl_easy_perform_ex(curl) curl_easy_cleanup(curl) curl_global_cleanup()

 If ReadFile(1, filename$)
   Repeat
     PrintN(ReadString(1))
   Until Eof(1)
   Input()
   ; to prevent console from closing if on windows
   CloseFile(1)
 EndIf
 DeleteFile(filename$)

EndIf </lang>

Another solution using general networking commands <lang PureBasic> InitNetwork() OpenConsole() id = OpenNetworkConnection("rosettacode.org", 80) SendNetworkString(id, "GET /wiki/Main_Page HTTP/1.1" + Chr(10) + "Host: rosettacode.org" + Chr(10) + Chr(10)) Repeat

   a$ = Space(1000)
   ReceiveNetworkData(id, @a$, 1000)
   out$ + a$
 EndIf

Until FindString(out$, "</html>", 0) PrintN(out$)

next line only to prevent console from closing on Windows

Input() </lang>

Of course you could use wget too.

Python

Python 3

Using the urllib.request module. <lang python> import urllib.request print(urllib.request.urlopen("http://rosettacode.org").read()) </lang>

Using a more low-level http.client library. <lang python> from http.client import HTTPConnection conn = HTTPConnection("example.com")

  1. If you need to use set_tunnel, do so here.

conn.request("GET", "/")

  1. Alternatively, you can use connect(), followed by the putrequest, putheader and endheaders functions.

result = conn.getresponse() r1 = result.read() # This retrieves the entire contents. </lang>

Python 2

Using the urllib library. <lang python> import urllib print urllib.urlopen("http://rosettacode.org").read() </lang>

Using the urllib2 library. <lang python> import urllib2 print urllib2.urlopen("http://rosettacode.org").read() </lang>


Library: Requests
Works with: Python version 2.7, 3.4–3.7

<lang Python> import requests print(requests.get("http://rosettacode.org").text) </lang>

R

Library: RCurl
Library: XML

First, retrieve the webpage.

<lang R> library(RCurl) webpage <- getURL("http://rosettacode.org")

  1. If you are linking to a page that no longer exists and need to follow the redirect, use followlocation=TRUE

webpage <- getURL("http://www.rosettacode.org", .opts=list(followlocation=TRUE))

  1. If you are behind a proxy server, you will need to use something like:

webpage <- getURL("http://rosettacode.org",

  .opts=list(proxy="123.123.123.123", proxyusername="domain\\username", proxypassword="mypassword", proxyport=8080))
  1. Don't forget that backslashes in your username or password need to be escaped!

</lang>

Now parse the html code into a tree and print the html.

<lang R> library(XML) pagetree <- htmlTreeParse(webpage ) pagetree$children$html </lang>

Racket

<lang Racket>

  1. lang racket

(require net/url) (copy-port (get-pure-port (string->url "http://www.rosettacode.org")

                         #:redirections 100)
          (current-output-port))

</lang>

Raku

(formerly Perl 6)

Library: LWP

Using LWP::Simple from the Raku ecosystem.

<lang perl6>use v6;

use LWP::Simple;

print LWP::Simple.get("http://www.rosettacode.org"); </lang>

or, without LWP::Simple:

<lang perl6>use v6;

my $socket = IO::Socket::INET.new(host => "www.rosettacode.org", port => 80,); $socket.print("GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"); print $socket.recv(); $socket.close; </lang>

REALbasic

REALBasic provides an HTTPSocket class for handling HTTP connections. The 'Get' method of the HTTPSocket is overloaded and can download data to a file or return data as a string, in both cases a timeout argument can be passed. <lang REALbasic>

 Dim sock As New HTTPSocket
 Print(sock.Get("http://www.rosettacode.org", 10))  //set the timeout period to 10 seconds.

</lang>

REBOL

<lang REBOL> print read http://rosettacode.org </lang>

REXX

This script takes an URL as an argument and displays the content on the terminal. It uses the external program `curl` to perform both the acquisition of the data and the display.

<lang Rexx>/* ft=rexx */ /* GET2.RX - Display contents of an URL on the terminal. */ /* Usage: rexx get.rx http://rosettacode.org */ parse arg url . 'curl' url</lang>

A simple change to the script will redirect the output to an internal variable for internal processing. (Our "internal processing" in this case is to display it.)

<lang Rexx>/* ft=rexx */ /* GET2.RX - Display contents of an URL on the terminal. */ /* Usage: rexx get2.rx http://rosettacode.org */ parse arg url . address system 'curl' url with output stem stuff. do i = 1 to stuff.0

 say stuff.i

end</lang>

Another simple change redirects the output to another external program like a shell pipe.

<lang Rexx>/* ft=rexx */ /* GET3.RX - Display contents of an URL on the terminal. */ /* Usage: rexx get3.rx http://rosettacode.org */ parse arg url . address system 'curl' url with output fifo address system 'more' with input fifo </lang>

Ring

<lang ring> See download("http://rosettacode.org") </lang>

RLaB

RLaB supports HTTP/FTP through its Read/Write facilities, which are organized around the concept of Universal Resource Locator (URL),

protocol://address

RLaB accepts the following values for protocol:

1. file or omitted, for generic text files or files in native binary format (partially compatible with matlab binary format);
2. h5 or hdf5 for files that use Hierarhical Data Format 5 (HDF5) version 1.8.0, and later. Here protocol can be omitted while address has to end with .h5 (file extension);
3. http, https, or ftp for accessing the data and files on web- and ftp-servers;
4. tcp, for accessing sockets over tcp/ip protocol;
5. serial, for accessing serial port on Un*x type systems.

For these URLs RLaB provides an internal book-keeping: It keeps track of the open ones and, say, upon quitting, closes them and releases the internal resources it allocated for managing them.

For accessing URLs on world wide web RLaB implements the library cURL (libcurl) [2] and its "easy" interface.

This said, this is how one would download financial data for Pfeizer from Yahoo [3].

<lang RLaB> // get cvs data from Yahoo for Pfeizer (PFE) url="http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=PFE&a=00&b=4&c=1982&d=00&e=10&f=2010&g=d&ignore=.csv";

opt = <<>>; // opt.CURLOPT_PROXY = "your.proxy.here"; // opt.CURLOPT_PROXYPORT = YOURPROXYPORT; // opt.CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE = "http"; open(url, opt); x = readm(url); close (url); </lang>

Ruby

The simple way loads the entire content into memory, then prints it.

<lang ruby> require 'open-uri'

print open("http://rosettacode.org") {|f| f.read} </lang>

If the content might be large, the better way uses FileUtils.copy_stream.

<lang ruby> require 'fileutils' require 'open-uri'

open("http://rosettacode.org/") {|f| FileUtils.copy_stream(f, $stdout)} </lang>

Run BASIC

<lang runbasic>print httpget$("http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Main_Page")</lang>

Rust

Cargo.toml <lang toml> [dependencies] hyper = "0.6" </lang> src/main.rs <lang rust> //cargo-deps: hyper="0.6" // The above line can be used with cargo-script which makes cargo's dependency handling more convenient for small programs extern crate hyper;

use std::io::Read; use hyper::client::Client;

fn main() {

   let client = Client::new();
   let mut resp = client.get("http://rosettacode.org").send().unwrap();
   let mut body = String::new();
   resp.read_to_string(&mut body).unwrap();
   println!("{}", body);

} </lang>

Scala

Library: Scala

<lang scala>import scala.io.Source

object HttpTest extends App {

 System.setProperty("http.agent", "*")
 Source.fromURL("http://www.rosettacode.org").getLines.foreach(println)

}</lang>

Scheme

Works with: Guile

<lang scheme>

Use the regular expression module to parse the url (included with Guile)

(use-modules (ice-9 regex))

Set the url and parse the hostname, port, and path into variables

(define url "http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/HTTP") (define r (make-regexp "^(http://)?([^:/]+)(:)?(([0-9])+)?(/.*)?" regexp/icase)) (define host (match:substring (regexp-exec r url) 2)) (define port (match:substring (regexp-exec r url) 4)) (define path (match:substring (regexp-exec r url) 6))

Set port to 80 if it wasn't set above and convert from a string to a number

(if (eq? port #f) (define port "80")) (define port (string->number port))

Connect to remote host on specified port

(let ((s (socket PF_INET SOCK_STREAM 0)))

       (connect s AF_INET (car (hostent:addr-list (gethostbyname host))) port)
Send a HTTP request for the specified path
       (display "GET " s)
       (display path s)
       (display " HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n" s)
Display the received HTML
       (do ((c (read-char s) (read-char s))) ((eof-object? c))
               (display c)))

</lang>

Works with: Chicken Scheme

Using the http-client library, this is trivial. <lang scheme> (use http-client) (print

 (with-input-from-request "http://google.com/"
                          #f read-string))

</lang>

Seed7

The gethttp.s7i library contains the function getHttp, which gets data specified by an URL using the HTTP protocol.

<lang seed7> $ include "seed7_05.s7i";

 include "gethttp.s7i";

const proc: main is func

 begin
   writeln(getHttp("www.rosettacode.org"));
 end func;</lang>

SenseTalk

<lang sensetalk>put url "http://www.rosettacode.org"</lang>

Sidef

Sidef can load and use Perl modules: <lang ruby>func get(url) {

   var lwp = (
       try   { require('LWP::UserAgent') }
       catch { warn "'LWP::UserAgent' is not installed!"; return nil }
   )
   var ua = lwp.new(agent => 'Mozilla/5.0')
   if (var resp = ua.get(url); resp.is_success) {
       return resp.decoded_content
   }
   return nil

}

print get("http://rosettacode.org")</lang>

<lang Swift>import Foundation

let request = NSURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: "http://rosettacode.org/")!)
