Httpobject

Hi, all. I assume this function fetches the html code of a page. Though I am having trouble getting it to work, namely not understanding some of the parameters:

Using google as an example I create a http object like so:

new HTTPObject(Test)
{
}

I then do

Echo(

Test.post
(
TransportAddress,<<< "http://www.google.com", <<<< This I know, though do I include the "http://"? :)
string Query,<<<<<<< string Post<<<<< );

Can someone please help me understand this object? Is this object used for, as I assumed, retrieving HTTP data? Can I Use this object and its functions to make a basic text-based web browser built in? Or perhaps for automated game updating.

Thanks,
