winhttp com example in help file

[megahyperion]

In the example

$oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5")

$oHTTP.Open("GET","http://www.AutoItScript.com")

$oHTTP.Send()

$HTMLSource = $oHTTP.Responsetext

What does the .5 mean after the winhttprequest ?

I believe it is the version of winhttp on your system, as Sven has posted similar code before? Though some may need to use version 5.1.

OK one more on this subject

Why would something like this

$oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5")

$oHTTP.Open

Do something differently then this

$oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest")

$oHTTP.5.Open

or this

$oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.Open")

To me it all looks like it should do the same thing, after a ton of reading the only thing I can think of for the . is that its like a / in a directory name.

Maybe I have the whole concept wrong.

becuze you need more then only the open() command

$httpObj = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1")
$httpObj.open("GET",$URL)
$httpObj.send()

$HTMLSource = $httpObj.Responsetext

so this would be the smallest i think
