Detailed Description

A HTTP request.

You should instantiate one of these objects via its constructor, and pass a pointer to it into an instance of request_queue. Although you can directly call the run() method of the object and it will make a HTTP call, be aware that if you do this, it will be a BLOCKING call (not asynchronous) and will not respect rate limits, as both of these functions are managed by the request_queue class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

http_request() [1/3]

dpp::http_request::http_request	(	const std::string &	_endpoint,
		const std::string &	_parameters,

		const std::string &	filename = "",
		const std::string &	filecontent = "",
		const std::string &	filemimetype = "",
		const std::string &	http_protocol = "1.1"
	)

Constructor. When constructing one of these objects it should be passed to request_queue::post_request().

Parameters

_parameters	Major and minor parameters for the endpoint e.g. a user id or guild id
completion	completion event to call when done
_postdata	Data to send in POST and PUT requests
method	The HTTP method to use from dpp::http_method
audit_reason	Audit log reason to send, empty to send none
filename	The filename (server side) of any uploaded file
filecontent	The binary content of any uploaded file for the request
filemimetype	The MIME type of any uploaded file for the request
http_protocol	HTTP protocol
