Increase the default HTTPClient download chunk size to 64 KiB
This improves download speeds at the cost of increased memory usage.

This change also effects HTTPRequest automatically.

See #32807 and #33862.

<brief_description>
A node with the ability to send HTTP(S) requests.
</brief_description>
<description>
A node with the ability to send HTTP requests. Uses [HTTPClient] internally.
Can be used to make HTTP requests, i.e. download or upload files or web content via HTTP.
[b]Example of contacting a REST API and printing one of its returned fields:[/b]
[codeblock]
func _ready():
# Create an HTTP request node and connect its completion signal.
var http_request = HTTPRequest.new()
add_child(http_request)
http_request.connect("request_completed", self, "_http_request_completed")
# Perform a GET request. The URL below returns JSON as of writing.
var error = http_request.request("https://httpbin.org/get")
if error != OK:
push_error("An error occurred in the HTTP request.")
# Perform a POST request. The URL below returns JSON as of writing.
# Note: Don't make simultaneous requests using a single HTTPRequest node.
# The snippet below is provided for reference only.
var body = {"name": "Godette"}
var error = http_request.request("https://httpbin.org/post", [], true, HTTPClient.METHOD_POST, body)
if error != OK:
push_error("An error occurred in the HTTP request.")
# Called when the HTTP request is completed.
func _http_request_completed(result, response_code, headers, body):
var response = parse_json(body.get_string_from_utf8())
# Will print the user agent string used by the HTTPRequest node (as recognized by httpbin.org).
print(response.headers["User-Agent"])
[/codeblock]
[b]Example of loading and displaying an image using HTTPRequest:[/b]
[codeblock]
func _ready():
# Create an HTTP request node and connect its completion signal.
var http_request = HTTPRequest.new()
add_child(http_request)
http_request.connect("request_completed", self, "_http_request_completed")
# Perform the HTTP request. The URL below returns a PNG image as of writing.
var error = http_request.request("https://via.placeholder.com/512")
if error != OK:
push_error("An error occurred in the HTTP request.")
# Called when the HTTP request is completed.
func _http_request_completed(result, response_code, headers, body):
var image = Image.new()
var error = image.load_png_from_buffer(body)
if error != OK:
push_error("Couldn't load the image.")
var texture = ImageTexture.new()
texture.create_from_image(image)
# Display the image in a TextureRect node.
var texture_rect = TextureRect.new()
add_child(texture_rect)
texture_rect.texture = texture
[/codeblock]
[b]Gzipped response bodies[/b]
HttpRequest will automatically handle decompression of response bodies.
A "Accept-Encoding" header will be automatically added to each of your requests, unless one is already specified.
Any response with a "Content-Encoding: gzip" header will automatically be decompressed and delivered to you as a uncompressed bytes.
[b]Note:[/b] When performing HTTP requests from a project exported to HTML5, keep in mind the remote server may not allow requests from foreign origins due to [url=https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS]CORS[/url]. If you host the server in question, you should modify its backend to allow requests from foreign origins by adding the [code]Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *[/code] HTTP header.

Returns the response body length.
[b]Note:[/b] Some Web servers may not send a body length. In this case, the value returned will be [code]-1[/code]. If using chunked transfer encoding, the body length will also be [code]-1[/code].

<description>
Creates request on the underlying [HTTPClient]. If there is no configuration errors, it tries to connect using [method HTTPClient.connect_to_host] and passes parameters onto [method HTTPClient.request].
Returns [constant OK] if request is successfully created. (Does not imply that the server has responded), [constant ERR_UNCONFIGURED] if not in the tree, [constant ERR_BUSY] if still processing previous request, [constant ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER] if given string is not a valid URL format, or [constant ERR_CANT_CONNECT] if not using thread and the [HTTPClient] cannot connect to host.
[b]Note:[/b] The [code]request_data[/code] parameter is ignored if [code]method[/code] is [constant HTTPClient.METHOD_GET]. This is because GET methods can't contain request data. As a workaround, you can pass request data as a query string in the URL. See [method String.http_escape] for an example.

Returns [constant OK] if request is successfully created. (Does not imply that the server has responded), [constant ERR_UNCONFIGURED] if not in the tree, [constant ERR_BUSY] if still processing previous request, [constant ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER] if given string is not a valid URL format, or [constant ERR_CANT_CONNECT] if not using thread and the [HTTPClient] cannot connect to host.

<member name="accept_gzip" type="bool" setter="set_accept_gzip" getter="is_accepting_gzip" default="true">
If [code]true[/code], this header will be added to each request: [code]Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate[/code] telling servers that it's okay to compress response bodies.
Any Response body declaring a [code]Content-Encoding[/code] of either [code]gzip[/code] or [code]deflate[/code] will then be automatically decompressed, and the uncompressed bytes will be delivered via [code]request_completed[/code].
If the user has specified their own [code]Accept-Encoding[/code] header, then no header will be added regaurdless of [code]accept_gzip[/code].
If [code]false[/code] no header will be added, and no decompression will be performed on response bodies. The raw bytes of the response body will be returned via [code]request_completed[/code].
