The HTTPS GET request should consist of a URL terminated by a question mark (?) followed by a set of key=value pairs separated by ampersands (&). (A standard POST request can also be used with appropriate formatting of the parameters).

Submitting a Call to the API
Very simple example ASP code for submitting a call to the API where the HotH WebServer is located at https://houseonthehill.com/SupportDesk. The parameters to the call are hard-coded in this example, in practice they would probably be retrieved from a previous form.
<%@ Language=JavaScript %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<%
function CallApi(strURL)
{
var strResult;
try
{
// Create the WinHTTPRequest ActiveX Object.
var WinHttpReq = new ActiveXObject(“WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1”);// Create an HTTP request.
var temp = WinHttpReq.Open(“GET”, strURL, false);// Send the HTTP request.
WinHttpReq.Send();// Retrieve the response text.
strResult = WinHttpReq.ResponseText;}
catch (objError)
{
strResult = objError + “\n”
strResult += “WinHTTP returned error: ” +
(objError.number & 0xFFFF).toString() + “\n\n”;
strResult += objError.description;
}// Return the response text.
return strResult;
}
Response.Write(CallApi(“https://houseonthehill.com/SupportDesk” + “?A=HttpApiAddCall&R=&Subject=Test”));
%>
