Description:

FCCom::Open() establishes a connection to the server associated with <connident>. If no Port number has been explicitly set, then FCCom will default to using port 80 for non SSL connections and port 443 for SSL connections. FCCom::Open() is equivalent to FCCom::Connect(). It is not necessary to call FCCom::Open() or FCCom::Connect() before issuing an FCCom::HttpRequest() because FCCom::HttpRequest() will first open the connection if it is not currently open. Calling either FCCom::Connect() or FCCom::Open() first may help with debugging.
