How do I create a POST request using AutoHotKey V2?

Question

How do I create a POST Rest API request using AutoHotKey V2? Every existing script I can find on the internet applies only to AutoHotKey V1. Are there existing utility scripts that faciliate this process?

Answer 1

Basic example of a function that uses a COM Object for HTTP Requests.

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0.11+

url := 'https://reddit.com/r/AutoHotkey/new/'
MsgBox(http('Post', url))

http(verb, url) {
    ; https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winhttp/winhttprequest
    web := ComObject('WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1')
    web.Open(verb, url)
    web.Send()
    web.WaitForResponse()
    return web.ResponseText
}
