Description

The http object provides methods that relate to HTTP (defined by the RFC2616 specification) and other Internet messaging protocols. It allows you to create outbound HTTP requests and to process incoming requests. This is the core functionality you need to connect an imp-based device to the Internet via its agent.

The http object is instantiated automatically.
