I made an AwaitableHTTPRequest Node to make HTTP requests more convenient and just in one line:

[Swarkin]

Its worth mentioning that Godot 4.4 will remove support for the old TLS 1.0 and 1.1 protocols according to the documentation of HTTPClient.

[Swarkin]

In turn it adds support for TLS 1.3

[Calinou]

Where did you see that TLS 1.0/1.1 support were removed?

Note that these protocols are known to be unsafe and many other clients already forbid connecting to them by default.

"Note: TLS support is currently limited to TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3."

Should the http be queued free at some point after the request is made?

[bruno-pmakers]

Something like

func _ready():
	# Create an HTTP request node and connect its completion signal.
	var http_request = HTTPRequest.new()
	add_child(http_request)
	http_request.request_completed.connect(self._http_request_completed)

	# Perform a GET request. The URL below returns JSON as of writing.
	var error = http_request.request("https://httpbin.org/get")
	if error != OK:
		push_error("An error occurred in the HTTP request.")

	# Perform a POST request. The URL below returns JSON as of writing.
	# Note: Don't make simultaneous requests using a single HTTPRequest node.
	# The snippet below is provided for reference only.
	var body = JSON.new().stringify({"name": "Godette"})
	error = http_request.request("https://httpbin.org/post", [], HTTPClient.METHOD_POST, body)
	if error != OK:
		push_error("An error occurred in the HTTP request.")

    http_request.queue_free() ## <<-------- Add this

You can free it if you don't need to make more requests later, but it's not strictly needed.
