* exception is empty string
* for any host name which I've tried
* even for '-1'

it might be some error code instead like:
-1 host is not found
-2 host does not response
-3 bad host name (e.g. in case of '-1' like above or wrong IP[:port] like '256.0.0.0'[':-1'])
-4 bad certificate
-5 unathorized
etc.
error #1:
'too many stars, too many stares. disembody.'

I don't think that SetHTTPHost() is supposed to check the connection and return 1/0 if the connection is working or not. Since this is a HTTP connection you are not maintaining a connection to a server. I could be wrong, but I think you have to send a request first.

nope, see example in documentation.

I want to get it supposed to be, but not only for checking the connection — for checking the correctness of host name and existing of host and even more. because 1) there's no point to return 1 or anything else otherwise and 2) we have no alternative method to check if host was set.

They are using SendHTTPRequestASync() to do a reuest and GetHTTPResponseReady() to check when it's done. I think SetHTTPHost() will always return 1 since it can't fail. There's no connection to the server until SendHTTPRequestASync() is called.

Originally SetHTTPHost() was going to check the host, but since that would require a request of some kind we wait for the first request instead. Now that the command has been released with a return value we cannot remove it so it almost always returns 1, it will return 0 if the connection ID doesn't exist, or the host name is an empty string. Check the return value of GetHTTPResponseReady() instead, negative values mean there was an error connecting to the host.

No, GetHTTPFileComplete and GetHTTPFileProgress will not return error codes, and I've just noticed that the documentation is wrong here as it says it returns the same as GetHTTPResponseReady, which it doesn't. Those two commands will only tell you if the download has finished, you should still check GetHTTPResponseReady for an error.

However I've also just noticed that on Windows this doesn't work properly and it will always return a negative value for file downloads even if they were successful, I'll get this fixed for the next version. Other platforms look like they work correctly.
