=== Echo World ===
"Echo World ([[User:Byrd Sciavo|Byrd Sciavo]] 04:19, 7 October 2009 (UTC))" is a slightly more useful "Hello World", demonstrating a basic server that echos back dynamic data fed. Echo World shows how http_request receives GET variables. To receive this "dynamic echo", append your cap url with a query string, such as https://sim3015.aditi.lindenlab.com:12043/cap/a7717681-2c04-e4ac-35e3-1f01c9861322/foo/bar?arg=gra

Here the PHP.
Here the PHP.
It sends "Hello" to the LSL Script which adds " there !" and returns it, so the php will return "Hello there !"
A more advanced php function which supports complete url structures and automatical GET and POST types.
Just don't submit any post Data to make a GET request.
The Function supports any kind of url as secure and not secure (https and http).
If you dont submit a port in the url, the default port for http (80) and https (443) will be used.

Here is the simplest possible PHP persistant URL script, it could even be run on an old PC set up as a Linux web server from home.
make a text file on the server, then call the page and write to the text file from the LSL script in your prim.
reading the page will give you the SL URL for the prim.
<source lang="php">
<?php
$myfile = fopen("yourfile.txt", "w") or die("Unable to open file!");
$txt = $_POST['url'];
fwrite($myfile, $txt);
fclose($myfile);

Utility Script

A script intended as a 'fill in the blank' exercise for very, very simple HTTP servers is here: Utility Script

Hello World!

Classic example, the smallest http_request script possible.

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llRequestURL();
    }

    http_request(key id, string method, string body)
    {
        if (method == URL_REQUEST_GRANTED)
        {
            llSay(0,"URL: " + body);
        }
        else if (method == "GET")
        {
            llHTTPResponse(id,200,"Hello World!");
        }
    }
}

A slightly more robust version:

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llRequestURL();
    }

    http_request(key id, string method, string body)
    {
        if (method == URL_REQUEST_GRANTED)
        {
            llSay(0,"URL: " + body);
        }
        else if (method == URL_REQUEST_DENIED)
        {
            llSay(0, "Something went wrong, no url. " + body);
        }
        else if (method == "GET")
        {
            llHTTPResponse(id,200,"Hello World!");
        }
        else
        {
            llHTTPResponse(id,405,"Unsupported Method");
        }
    }
}

Echo World

"Echo World (Byrd Sciavo 04:19, 7 October 2009 (UTC))" is a slightly more useful "Hello World", demonstrating a basic server that echos back dynamic data fed. Echo World shows how http_request receives GET variables. To receive this "dynamic echo", append your cap url with a query string, such as https://sim3015.aditi.lindenlab.com:12043/cap/a7717681-2c04-e4ac-35e3-1f01c9861322/foo/bar?arg=gra

string url;
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llRequestURL();
    }

    http_request(key id, string method, string body)
    {

HTTP Server URL Registration

HTTP Server URL Registration shows how to obtain the URL for your HTTP service and register it externally, and how to do proper backoff and retry as an HTTP Client.

Visitor List

A list of residents within sensor range of the server.

Perl/Python Examples Using POST

Here are a set of scripts to provide another example using POST. The first script is the LSL code to receive the information on the grid. The second script is a Perl script that is used on the outside server to contact the code on the grid. The third script is a Python script that is also used on the outside server to contact the code on the grid. (Grandma Bates 12:42, 27 May 2009 (UTC))

Simple script for sending data to an LSL via PHP

This example by Simba Fuhr UPDATE September 2, 2013NO LONGER WORKS PORTS 12046,12043 will not except incoming info from POST...

Warning!

Some hosting providers only allow fsockopen on the standard 80 and 443 ports. This script will not work on those providers. If your provider is willing to open some ports for you, HTTP-in uses port 12046, and HTTPS-in uses port 12043.


Note: To use SSL encrypted sockets, you need to have SSL activated on your server. If you run your own server, you need to import the ssl support to your server (apache => apache.conf +"LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so")(normaly based on openssl).


Secure URL Request with LSL. Script returns the URL to the chat. Please put the URL into the PHP below.

default
{
 state_entry()
 {
  llRequestSecureURL();
 }
 http_request(key id, string method, string body)
 {
  if ((method == URL_REQUEST_GRANTED))
  {
   llOwnerSay("URL: " + body);
  }
  else if (method == "POST")
  {
   llOwnerSay("PHP script sent: {" + body + "}");
   llHTTPResponse(id, 200, "PHP script sent: {" + body + "}");
  }
 }
}

Here the PHP. A more advanced php function which supports complete url structures and automatical GET and POST types. Just don't submit any post Data to make a GET request. The Function supports any kind of url as secure and not secure (https and http). If you dont submit a port in the url, the default port for http (80) and https (443) will be used. (An example is shown on the top of the script.)

<?php
echo "LSL Script answered:<br>";
echo Advanced_HTTP_Request("https://sim20557.agni.lindenlab.com:12043/cap/5851e666-b0c6-f0a0-758a-9e8156765215", "Hello script, how are you ?");

Here is the simplest possible PHP persistant URL script, it could even be run on an old PC set up as a Linux web server from home. make a text file on the server, then call the page and write to the text file from the LSL script in your prim. reading the page will give you the SL URL for the prim.

<?php
$myfile = fopen("yourfile.txt", "w") or die("Unable to open file!");
$txt = $_POST['url'];
fwrite($myfile, $txt);
fclose($myfile);
?>
