### Features:

- **Multi threaded**: transfer multiple files in parallel

- **Asynchronous**: start a download now, check its status later

- **Aggressive**: multiple attempts to connect, reconnect, resume interrupted transfers, etc.

- **NSIS aware**: download files at any installation stage (from `.onInit` callback, from `Sections`, from custom pages, silent installers, etc.)

- **Informative**: plenty of useful information is available for each transfer (size, speed, HTTP status, HTTP headers, etc)

- Supports all relevant **HTTP verbs** (GET, POST, PUT, HEAD, etc)

- Supports **custom HTTP headers and data**

- Supports **proxy servers** (both authenticated and open)

- Supports files larger than **4GB**

- Can download remote content to **RAM** instead of a file

- Works well in **64-bit** [NSIS builds](https://github.com/negrutiu/nsis)

- Many more... Check out the included [readme file](NSxfer.Readme.txt)

### Basic usage:

- HTTP GET example:

```

NSxfer::Transfer /URL "https://httpbin.org/get?param1=1&param2=2" /LOCAL "$TEMP\Response.json" /END

Pop $0  ; "OK" for success

```

- HTTP POST `application/json`:

```

NSxfer::Transfer /URL "https://httpbin.org/post?param1=1&param2=2" /LOCAL "$TEMP\MyFile.json" /METHOD POST /DATA '{"number_of_the_beast" : 666}' /HEADERS "Content-Type: application/json" /END

Pop $0  ; "OK" for success

```

- HTTP POST `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`:

```

NSxfer::Transfer /URL "https://httpbin.org/post?param1=1&param2=2" /LOCAL "$TEMP\MyFile.json" /METHOD POST /DATA 'User=My+User&Pass=My+Pass' /HEADERS "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" /END

Pop $0  ; "OK" for success

```
