function fetch

Supported only in the v8 engine. Introduced in Max v9.2.0.

Fetches a resource over HTTP or HTTPS.

This is a compatibility subset of the WHATWG Fetch standard. Only http:// and https:// URLs are supported, and absolute URLs are required (there is no ambient page location). There is no browser CORS model, cache mode, persistent cookie store, document.cookie, public-suffix enforcement, or SameSite enforcement. There is intentionally no global File class because Max already provides a different File object.

The promise resolves once status and headers are available; the body streams afterward through Response.body or the buffered body helpers. Requires an absolute http:// or https:// URL.

gzip / deflate responses are decoded transparently; when that happens the exposed headers omit content-encoding and content-length.

export declare function fetch(
  input: string | Request,
  init?: RequestInit,
): Promise<Response>;

Example

(async () => {
  const response = await fetch("https://example.com/");
  post(response.status, response.ok, "\n");
  post(await response.text(), "\n");
})();
