llGetFreeURLs

Returns the number of URLs that the script can request for HTTP-In.

llGetHTTPHeader

Returns the value of the requested header for a given HTTP request made to the script.

llReleaseURL

llRequestURL

Requests a non-secure URL to be used with HTTP-In.

llRequestSecureURL

Same as llRequestURL but requests a secure url (https://)

llSetContentType
