Details of HTTP Client Library Implementation
Conceptually a user application performs all work with the HS Download library in a sequence of operations. The API syntax depends on if a standard DLL API, a C Sharp wrapper API or a static C library API is used. These operations are:
Initialize library (HsDownloadInit / HsDownloadDllInit / HsDownloadDllInitCs)
Open file download (HsDownloadOpen / HsDownloadDllOpen / HsDownloadDllOpenCs)
Periodically check for status (HsDownloadStatus() / HsDownloadDllStatus / HsDownloadDllStatusCs
Close file download (HsDownloadClose / HsDownloadDllClose / HsDownloadDllCloseCs)
De-Initialize library (HsDownloadCleanup / HsDownloadDllCleanup / HsDownloadDllCleanupCs)
