GET String sends a HTTP request with GET method on call and decode its content with given charset in the Content-Type header (See MDN to obtain more info about the header). Defaults to UTF-8 if charset is not present in the header, or the header itself does not exist.

This is not suitable for binary-transmission, as this node decoes whole response as human-readable string. Consider use one of Asset Providers if your intention is fetching remote asset such as Texture2D.

This node is best used with an impulse from the client actually wanting to fulfill the data transfer task. See Security/Consent and surrounding info.

Inputs

* (AsyncCall)

Trigger to send a get request with a header of Content-Type: plain/text; charset=utf-8 to the URL (Uri) server location

URL (Uri)

The server location to send the get request to.

Outputs

OnSent (AsyncCall)

Fires immediately after the request is sent, so multiple async functions can happen in parallel.

OnResponse (Continuation)

Fires after the server has responded with either (TODO: Which responses are valid?) HTTP code and sent a string based response. The node will output these to their respective outputs during this pulse.

OnError (Continuation)

Fires after the HTTP client concludes that the request failed due to an underlying issue such as network connectivity, DNS failure, server certificate validation or timeout.

OnDenied (Continuation)

Fires after the user processing the request denied access request prompt to the Uri host, or denied by their setting. Please see external connection page for more information.

StatusCode (HTTP Status Code)

The code that the server responded with, no matter if it failed, was denied, succeeded at a response, or returned an error. This only exists during the OnResponse (Continuation), OnError (Continuation), and OnDenied (Continuation) impulses. Default to 0 if request has not been sent, or terminaed by an error described in OnError section.

Content (String)

The response that the server gave, or message of the thrown exception during HTTP request. This only exists during the OnResponse (Continuation) impulse.
