Delphi http get request with another port

How I can make a GET request on this example?

http://localhost:9000/api/public/v1/action=X

I tried with TIdHTTP but only the 80 port its acceptable and when I try the 9000 port this error happen:

Unknow protocol

My code:

var
  lHTTP: TIdHTTP;
  link: String;
begin
  link := 'localhost:9000/api/scanner/Acao?acao=x';
  lHTTP := TIdHTTP.Create;
  try
    link := lHTTP.Get(link);
  finally
    lHTTP.Free;
  end;
end;
Solution

  • TIdHTTP should work fine with non-standard ports, provided you actually have an HTTP server listening on localhost on port 9000, eg:

    var s: string;
s := IdHTTP1.Get('http://localhost:9000/api/public/v1/action=X');

    The only way to get an "Unknown protocol" error is if you omit the scheme portion from the URL, eg:

    s := IdHTTP1.Get('localhost:9000/api/public/v1/action=X');

    You must include either http:// or https:// in the URLs you request.
