Red Http Client

This plugin allows to send HTTP requests. It can be used with Redscript and CET.

Getting started

Compatibility

• Cyberpunk 2077 v2.2
• Redscript 0.5.27+
• Cyber Engine Tweaks 1.34.0+

Installation

1. Install requirements:

• RED4ext v1.26.0+
• RedData v0.6.0+ (only required for Json data)
• RedFileSystem v0.11.0+ (recommended)

2. Extract the latest archive into the Cyberpunk 2077 directory.

Usage

It logs all requests and responses by default, in red4ext/logs/redhttpclient-YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss.log. Logging can be disabled
in file red4ext/plugins/RedFileSystem/storages/RedHttpClient/config.json. User need to change value of logging to false. File is created after running the game when it isn't found.

All features are defined in module RedHttpClient. You need to import it with:

import RedHttpClient.*
import RedData.Json.* // When using Json from RedData.

You can find examples for both Redscript and Lua (CET) in examples/.

HttpResponse

GetStatus() -> HttpStatus;
GetStatusCode() -> Int32;

GetHeaders() -> array<HttpHeader>;
HasHeader(header: String) -> Bool;
GetHeader(header: String) -> String;

GetText() -> String;
GetJson() -> ref<JsonVariant>; // only with RedData.Json

After sending an HTTP request, you should receive a HttpResponse whether you're using HttpClient or AsyncHttpClient (see after).

// Suppose HTTP response from server is something like:
// GET / 200 OK
// Content-Type: text/plain
// 
// Hello world!
let response: ref<HttpResponse>;

LogChannel(n"Info", s"Status: \(response.GetStatus())");
LogChannel(n"Info", s"Status code: \(response.GetStatusCode())");
LogChannel(n"Info", s"Headers: \(ArraySize(response.GetHeaders()))");
LogChannel(n"Info", s"  Content-Type: \(response.HasHeader("Content-Type"))");
LogChannel(n"Info", s"  Content-Type: '\(response.GetHeader("Content-Type"))'");
LogChannel(n"Info", s"Text: '\(response.GetText())'");
LogChannel(n"Info", s"Is Json: \(IsDefined(response.GetJson()))");

// It should log the following:
// Status: OK
// Status code: 200
// Headers: 1
//   Content-Type: true
//   Content-Type: 'text/plain'
// Text: 'Hello world!'
// Is Json: false

HttpStatus

A list of HTTP status codes is defined in enum HttpStatus. You can look at all values in definition.

HttpClient

Send HTTP requests using HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE. All requests must be safe and executed through SSL. Therefore url must always start with https://. If you send an unsafe request with url http://, response will be null. This plugin requires at least TLS v1.2 when communicating with servers.

HttpClient run requests in blocking mode. It blocks the current thread until a response is received. You should be careful when using it. If you're not sure, always use AsyncHttpClient instead.

Tip

Don't jump to AsyncHttpClient right now. Features are similar between both clients. You'll find useful information below to use with AsyncHttpClient.

GET

Get(url: String, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;

You can define headers like this:

let headers: array<HttpHeader> = [
  HttpHeader.Create("Authorization", "Bearer <token>")
];

POST

Post(url: String, body: String, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;
PostForm(url: String, form: array<HttpPair>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;
PostMultipart(url: String, form: ref<HttpMultipart>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;
PostJson(url: String, body: ref<JsonVariant>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;

Use Post to send body data as text/plain (default).

Use PostForm to send a list of key/value with:

• Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
• Body: key1=value1&key2=value2[...]

You can define keys/values of a form like this:

let form = [
  HttpPair.Create("key1", "value1"),
  HttpPair.Create("key2", "value2")
];

Use PostMultipart to send a multipart form with:

• Content-Type: multipart/form-data
• Body: <multipart data>

You can add / set / get parts of a form like this:

let form: ref<HttpMultipart> = new HttpMultipart();

form.AddPart("name1", "value1");    // Add new part
form.SetPart("name1", "newvalue1"); // Replace value of name1
form.SetPart("name2", "value2");    // Add new part too
let value = form.GetPart("name2");  // value == "value2"

Use PostJson to send Json data with:

• Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
• Body: <Json data>

Methods below use the same signature for [Method]Form, [Method]Multipart and [Method]Json.

PUT

Put(url: String, body: String, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;
PutForm(url: String, form: array<HttpPair>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;
PutMultipart(url: String, form: ref<HttpMultipart>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;
PutJson(url: String, body: ref<JsonVariant>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;

PATCH

Patch(url: String, body: String, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;
PatchForm(url: String, form: array<HttpPair>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;
PatchMultipart(url: String, form: ref<HttpMultipart>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;
PatchJson(url: String, body: ref<JsonVariant>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;

DELETE

Delete(url: String, opt body: String, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;
DeleteForm(url: String, form: array<HttpPair>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;
DeleteMultipart(url: String, form: ref<HttpMultipart>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;
DeleteJson(url: String, body: ref<JsonVariant>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> ref<HttpResponse>;

AsyncHttpClient

Send asynchronous HTTP requests using HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE.

AsyncHttpClient run requests in background using a JobQueue. This will not block the current thread. This is the best way to send requests and should be used instead of HttpClient. This uses the same rules described for HttpClient.

Unlike HttpClient, you need to provide a HttpCallback. It will be used to execute your function when a HttpResponse is ready.

HttpCallback

You can target which object and function to execute when a response is ready. You can also provide additional data to transfer when consuming the response. Last argument data is optional, with type array<Variant> (see Redscript Wiki).

public class YourClass {
  // ...

  public func YourFunction() {
    let callback: HttpCallback = HttpCallback.Create(this, n"YourResponse", ["Hello", 42]);

    AsyncHttpClient.Get(callback, "https://httpbin.org/get");
  }

  private cb func YourResponse(response: ref<HttpResponse>, data: array<Variant>) {
    let arg0: String = FromVariant(data[0]); // == "Hello"
    let arg1: Int32 = FromVariant(data[1]); // == 42

    // Use response and additional data...
  }

  // ...
}

All functions are identical to HttpClient, except they all starts with a callback argument and return nothing:

GET

Get(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;

POST

Post(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, body: String, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;
PostForm(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, form: array<HttpPair>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;
PostMultipart(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, form: ref<HttpMultipart>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;
PostJson(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, body: ref<JsonVariant>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;

PUT

Put(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, body: String, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;
PutForm(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, form: array<HttpPair>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;
PutMultipart(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, form: ref<HttpMultipart>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;
PutJson(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, body: ref<JsonVariant>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;

PATCH

Patch(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, body: String, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;
PatchForm(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, form: array<HttpPair>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;
PatchMultipart(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, form: ref<HttpMultipart>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;
PatchJson(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, body: ref<JsonVariant>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;

DELETE

Delete(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, opt body: String, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;
DeleteForm(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, form: array<HttpPair>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;
DeleteMultipart(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, form: ref<HttpMultipart>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;
DeleteJson(callback: HttpCallback, url: String, body: ref<JsonVariant>, opt headers: array<HttpHeader>) -> Void;

Development

Contributions are welcome, feel free to fill an issue or a PR.

Usage

1. Install requirements:

• CMake v3.27+
• Visual Studio Community 2022+
• red-cli v0.2.2+

2. Configure project with:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF -S . -B build

BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is required to avoid conflicts with another version of libcurl from the game.

3. Build in debug mode:

cmake --build build --target RedHttpClient --config Debug

It will execute red-cli install for you using a CMake custom command.

Tests

1. Run game.
2. Open CET, show Game Log popup.
3. Output should show tests result.

Release

1. Build in release mode:

cmake --build build --target RedHttpClient --config Release

It will execute red-cli pack for you using a CMake custom command. You should find an archive RedHttpClient-X.Y.Z.zip in the root directory, ready to release.
