Use Case

Below is a sample use case for HttpRequester, it is written in Lua script but comments should allow anyone unfamiliar to follow along.

JSON = (loadfile "JSON.lua")()

-- Command line args for HttpRequester.

local args = "\"{'Url':'http://www.google.co.uk','HttpMethod':'GET'}\""
-- Start HttpRequester and read all output

local httpRequester = io.popen("HttpRequester.exe " .. args)

local responseObj = ""
for line in httpRequester:lines() do

    responseObj = responseObj .. line

end
-- Decode JSON response object.

local responseObj = JSON:decode(responseObj)
-- Check for error then print response body to html file.

if responseObj.Error == nil then

    local file = assert(io.open("google.html", "w"))

    file:write(responseObj.ResponseBody)

    file:close()

end

I used to process standard output re-director here but you could just as easily do 'HttpRequester "..." > someTempFile.temp', then read the file contents and delete it.

An aside here is that I use a JSON library for Lua, http://regex.info/blog/lua/json, but you do not require a JSON library to use this tool, one could parse the output manually using any standard string library.
