Syntax

static void LaunchURL
(
    const TCHAR * URL,
    const TCHAR * Parms,
    FString * Error
)

Remarks

Launch a uniform resource locator (i.e. http://www.epicgames.com/unreal). This is expected to return immediately as the URL is launched by another task. The URL param must already be a valid URL. If you're looking for code to properly escape a URL fragment, use FGenericPlatformHttp::UrlEncode.
