HttpRequest doesn´t work

[Jojo_44]

Hey,

I´m trying the new httprequest with Beta 2.0 but my Code doesn´t work:

Code: Select all

		#Include "TextLib" as TextLib
		
		declare CHttpRequest shoutbox;
		
		Void getXMLFromWeb() {
		
			shoutbox = Http.CreateGet("http://localhost/Maniascript/httptest/shoutbox.xml");
			
			while(!shoutbox.IsCompleted) {
				
			}
			
			log(shoutbox.Result);
		}
		
		Void preventBug() {
		
		}
		
		main() {
			
			getXMLFromWeb();
		}

Maniaplanet says that the script consumes too many resources. What´s wrong with my code ?

regards, Jojo

Same problem for me, I also tried to request some data, but it seems not working in Manialink context.

My script:

Code: Select all

log("Test start");
log("Valid: " ^ Http.IsValidUrl("http://localhost/test/getXML"));
log("Slots: " ^ Http.SlotsAvailable);
declare CHttpRequest Request = Http.CreateGet("http://localhost/test/getXML");
log("Slots: " ^ Http.SlotsAvailable);

declare Integer Next = Now + 1000;
while (True) {
	while (Now < Next) {
		yield;
	}
	
	if (Request.IsCompleted) {
		log("Request Completed, Status: " ^ Request.StatusCode);
		log(Request.Result);
		break;
	} else {
		log("Waiting for Request... Status: " ^ Request.StatusCode);
		Next += 1000;
		yield;
	}		
}

The URL is proofed to be valid, and the slots are decreased with each script call, but yet I was unable to see the request in the network traffic., So the request seems to be actually never started. (Thus, the script of course keeps in the loop printing "Waiting for Request", status is always 0. )

for me the httprequest worked fine, i tried it during a created multiplayer game (not on a dedicated server)
btw: i suggest

Code: Select all

wait(httprequest.IsCompleted);

for the first test of a http request, so you don't need any loops or something like that

This was my first test, with the result, that the Browser did not respond anymore (as of never finishing the request). So I replaced it with the loop to have some debug output

And it is good to know that it works for servers, so it may be a bug in the Manialink browser.
