Windows 8.1 HTTP API brings good news to JavaScript app developers

For JavaScript app developers who connect to a Web service, there's a new HTTP API in Windows 8.1 that lets you connect to Web services easier and with a lot more flexibility, according to a post on the Windows App Builder Blog.

?The Windows.Web.HttpClient API gives you access to cookies, control over caching, and can set and get headers using strong types,? writes Microsoft Senior Program Manager Peter Smith. ?There?s also a powerful system for modularizing your network code, giving it access to the HTTP processing pipeline.?

More good news: It?s available for C++ or .NET developers? apps, too.

Check out the Windows App Builder Blog for an overview of HttpClient programming and a walkthrough on how to convert your JavaScript apps to use the new API.
