External data

Titanium provides several methods of retrieving external data. Some of which (such as the bonjour service) are platform specific. All of the commands are under Ti.Network. Most of the time you will use Ti.Network.createHTTPClient to access web services with the GET and POST methods.

You will use this method a lot in your apps, so it is important that you understand how to use it and what it can do. Let's walk through a typical example of a Titanium HTTP data retrieval request. The method for posting data is pretty much the same as getting it. I'll explain the differences in the next section.
