You can click the command for more details:

Also check out the fs.open documentation. This is the return value of http.get

HTTP API is kinda useless unless you have your own web server with a custom program to handle CC requests. You can't really write a web browser in Lua. Not in this century anyways; most websites use stuff like Java and Flash for a lot of the content.

Would be fun to see an IRC interface written in PHP specifically for cross-server ComputerCraft chatting...

When you enable the HTTP API, you can download stuff from Pastebin onto a CC computer in the game.

This allows users to write code on their local machine in a more comfortable editor and then download the code onto the CC computers.

I use AutoHotkey for that. :)
