SWI-Prolog HTTP support library
This directory provides the SWI-Prolog libraries for accessing and providing HTTP services. The client libraries come in two forms:
- The lightweight http_open.pl opens an HTTP location as a stream
- The more full-blown http_client.pl performs arbitrary HTTP requests and, depending on loaded plugins, transforms the data in a Prolog-friendly format.
The primary server-library is thread_httpd.pl, providing full-blown scalable embedded HTTP server.
