HTTP

LSL includes functions that utilize HTTP, the HyperText Transfer Protocol, for communicating with other scripts in-world or web servers on the outside internet. HTTP requests incur no speed penalty, but there is a limit on how many requests per object can be made.

Functions

llEscapeURL: Returns the UTF-8 encoded escape codes for selected characters.
llHTTPRequest: Requests information from an HTTP server.
llLoadURL: Loads a web page in an external browser.
llUnescapeURL: Returns the UTF-8 characters without escape codes.
llHTTPResponse: Responds to an HTTP request made to the script.
llGetFreeURLs: Returns the number of URLs that the script can request for HTTP-In.
llGetHTTPHeader: Returns the value of the requested header for a given HTTP request made to the script.
llReleaseURL: Releases a given URL so it may not be used further.
llRequestURL: Requests a non-secure URL to be used with HTTP-In.
llRequestSecureURL: Same as llRequestURL but requests a secure url (https://)
llSetContentType: sets the content type for non-text http responses. Called in the http_request event before the call to the function llHTTPResponse . ( or inside user-defined functions called in the http_request event )

Events

http_request: Called when the script receives an HTTP request.
http_response: Called when an HTTP request is complete.
