Usage

Initialize an HTTP agent and set header fields:

DATA(agent) = zcl_http_agent=>create( ).

" Optionally set headers
agent->global_headers( )->set(
  iv_key = zif_http_agent=>c_header-accept
  iv_val = zif_http_agent=>c_content_type-json ).

agent->global_headers( )->set(
  iv_key = zif_http_agent=>c_header-content_type
  iv_val = zif_http_agent=>c_content_type-json ).

agent->global_headers( )->set(
  iv_key = zif_http_agent=>c_header-user_agent
  iv_val = `abap 7.5` ).

Get and set authorization tokens:

DATA(host) = 'api.github.com'.

IF zcl_http_login_manager=>get( host ) IS NOT INITIAL.
  agent->global_headers( )->set(
    iv_key = zif_http_agent=>c_header-authorization
    iv_val = zcl_http_login_manager=>get( host ) ).
ENDIF.

Get request:

DATA(response) = agent->request( url = 'https://api.github.com/emojis' ).

IF response->is_ok( ) = abap_false.
  message = |Error { response->code( ) }|.
ENDIF.

Put request with payload:

DATA(response) = agent->request(
  url     = 'https://myserver.com/'
  method  = zif_abappm_http_agent=>c_method-put
  payload = json ).

IF response->is_ok( ) = abap_false.
  message = |Error { response->code( ) }|.
ENDIF.
