	client handle specifies the client handle to associate with the Web request. Use client handles to wire together multiple HTTP Client VIs while preserving authentication credentials, HTTP headers, and cookies. Client handles are not required when making independent Web requests without persistent data such as headers or credentials.
	host specifies the host name associated with the key.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
	timeout specifies the amount of time in milliseconds to wait for a response from the server before the Web request times out. The default value is 10000 ms. A value of -1 defers timeout monitoring to the operating system.
	client handle out returns the client handle associated with the Web request. Use client handles to wire together multiple HTTP Client VIs while preserving authentication credentials, HTTP headers, and cookies. Client handles are not required when making independent Web requests without persistent data such as headers or credentials.
	error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
