HTTP Protocol Support?

Hi.
Does Torque support HTTP communications and, if so, is it accessible from Torquescript? I need to communicate with an ad. server via http, preferably via Torquescript, to send it occassional statistical data.
Thanks.

I see the TCPObject but don't see an HTTPObject in the Torquescript documentation. Is it a v1.5 addition? Where do I find more documentation on it? I'm currently using v1.4.
Thanks.

How do I access it through script instead of C++?
How do I access that page you referenced starting from here?

For the first, the ConsoleMethods aren't showing in dOxygen, so you can either:
1) Go to the source files (/engine/game/net/TCPObject.cc and HTTPObject.cc and look at the console methods available, or:
2) Go to TDN, and do a search for TCPObject. As it turns out, no one has yet written an article on the get and put console methods for HTTPObject, but there are a couple of threads in the forums regarding their use.

For the second question, click on Torque Source Code Documentation, and then Class Hierarchy.For the first, the ConsoleMethods aren't showing in dOxygen, so you can either:

There is a "persistant character" resource which shows how to use httpobject from script

Note that http protocols are pretty restrictive in syntax, and that there are a couple of useful tutorials/resources regarding how to best utilize them.
