Administration: HTTP Communication Using the SAP System as a Client 

The SAP system can also be used as a HTTP client. This means that an ABAP application program can send requests to the Internet. Based on the response returned by the HTTP server, the client can either produce output or further process the request. The following sections give you more information about configuration options and restrictions.

The interaction model for the client role gives you an overview of the relationships between the HTTP client (an SAP system), the Internet Communication Framework (ICF), and a HTTP server (for example, another SAP system).

The section Connection Establishment Using Destination (SM59) describes how you maintain and administer destinations for HTTP connections.

Finally, you can read about the parallelization of requests and how to redirect requests.

You can use a proxy server to send your HTTP requests to the Internet. See Configuring Proxies.
