The Engines.HTTP object creates an Engines.HTTP.HTTPRequest object interact with any data source accessible via the HTTP and SSL protocols.

The steps in making a HTTP request are as follows:

1. Create an HTTP request.
2. Make the request.
3. Check if data was returned.
4. Process the data.

Here's how the Engines.HTTP.HTTPRequest works with other objects in the KlipFolio API:

1. Create a Engines.HTTP.HTTPRequest object using newRequest().
2. Call Engines.HTTP.HTTPRequest.send() on the Engines.HTTP.HTTPRequest object.
3. Check Engines.HTTP.HTTPResponse.length to see if data was returned.
4. Process the data using Engines.KlipFood.process().
