QCurl plugin offers offers a way make HTTP requests to get a remote webpage. It wrapps the Curl library within the QCubed framework. This is basically a wrapper for a class I have found at http://php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php

Using it is really simple:

• Create an instance of the the QCurl class, passing in the target URL as a parameter to the constructor
• Set parameters, for example: proxy server you'd like to use, or whether the HTTP request is to be sent using POST or GET
• Perform the actual the HTTP request by calling makeHttpRequest() on your QCurl object
• Fetch the response; inspect the HTTP response code and errors, if any.
