HTTP Client reference

Last modified: 21 October 2022

The client object holds the HTTP Client session metadata, such as the list of global variables. The HTTP Client session is started when AppCode starts, and ends when AppCode is closed. Values are not preserved between AppCode restarts.

The client provides access to the global nested object that serves as a variables storage.
