About the sample HTTP client
The sample HTTP client is a console application that demonstrates how to implement a client for Kaspersky Scan Engine in HTTP mode. You can also use it to scan files from the console.
The sample HTTP client makes HTTP requests to Kaspersky Scan Engine. It supports TCP connections and UNIX socket connections and can pass file paths or file contents to Kaspersky Scan Engine.
When Kaspersky Scan Engine finishes scanning files, it sends a response to the sample HTTP client. The sample HTTP client prints the scan result to the standard output. For more information about the scan results, see section "Scan results for the HTTP client".
