Summary

Function: key llRequestURL( );
0.0 Forced Delay
10.0 Energy

Requests one HTTP:// url for use by this script. The http_request event is triggered with the result of the request.
Returns a key that is the handle used for identifying the result in the http_request event.

Caveats

  • When a region is (re)started all HTTP server URLs are automatically released and invalidated.
  • The number of available URLs is a limited resource, that is to say, a script can only have so many open URLs. See LSL http_server#Resource Limitations for details.
  • When abandoning a URL, always release it with llReleaseURL, otherwise it will leak.

Examples

This script requests a new URL after region restart: <LSL> string url; key urlRequestId; key selfCheckRequestId;

request_url() { 

   llReleaseURL(url);
   url = "";

   urlRequestId = llRequestURL();

}

throw_exception(string inputString) { 

   key owner = llGetOwner();
   llInstantMessage(owner, inputString);

   // yeah, bad way to handle exceptions by restarting.
   // However this is just a demo script...

   llResetScript();

}

default { 

   on_rez(integer start_param)
   {
       llResetScript();
   }

   changed(integer change)
   {
if (change & (CHANGED_OWNER
