Hello World!

Classic example, the smallest http_request script possible. <lsl> 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!");
       }
   }

} </lsl> A slightly more robust version: <lsl> 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");
       }
   }

} </lsl>

Visitor List

A list of residents within sensor range of the server.
Notes:

  • This includes a method for handling multiple requests while waiting for asynchronous data requests to come back.

<lsl>integer scanning = FALSE;

list requests;

send_response(string body) { 

   integer j;
   for (j = 0; j < llGetListLength(requests); ++j)
   {
       llHTTPResponse(llList2Key(requests,j), 200, body);
   }
   requests = [];

}

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")
       {
           if (!scanning)
           {
               llSensor("",NULL_KEY,AGENT,96,PI);
               scanning = TRUE;
           }
           
           requests += [id];
       }
       else
       {
           llHTTPResponse(id,405,"Unsupported method.");
       }
   }

   no_sensor()
   {
       send_response("There is no one here.");
       scanning = FALSE;
   }

   sensor(integer n)
   {
       string output;
       if (n < 16) output = "There are " + (string)n + " avatars nearby:";
       else output = "There are at least 16 avatars nearby:";
       
       integer i;
       for (i = 0;i<n;++i)
       {
           output += "\n\t" + llDetectedName(i);
       }
       
       send_response(output);

       scanning = FALSE;
   }

} </lsl>

Url Persistence / Visitor Counter

A more complete 'hello world', always has an url and keeps a visitor counter. <lsl> string url; integer hits;

setup() { 

   llSetObjectName("HTTP Server");
   url = "";
   llRequestURL();
   hits = (integer)llGetObjectDesc();
   llSetText((string)hits + " visitors.",<1,1,0>,1);

}

default { 

   state_entry() { setup(); }
   on_rez(integer n) { setup(); }
   
   changed(integer c)
   {
       if (c & (CHANGED_REGION | CHANGED_REGION_START | CHANGED_TELEPORT) )
       {
           setup();
       }
   }
   
   touch_start(integer n)
   {
       llSay(0,"My url is: " + url);
   }

   http_request(key id, string method, string body)
   {
       if (method == URL_REQUEST_GRANTED)
       {
           url = body;
       }
       else if (method == URL_REQUEST_DENIED)
       {
           llSay(0, "Something went wrong, no url. " + body);
       }
       else if (method == "GET")
       {
           ++hits;
           llSetObjectDesc((string)hits);
           llSetText((string)hits + " visitors.",<1,1,0>,1);
           llHTTPResponse(id,200,"Hello!  You are visitor " + (string)hits + ".");
       }
       else
       {
           llHTTPResponse(id,405,"Method unsupported");
       }
   }

} </lsl>


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)) <lsl> key requestURL;

default { 

   state_entry() {
       requestURL = llRequestURL();     // Request that an URL be assigned to me.
   }
   
   
    http_request(key id, string method, string body) {
       
       if ((method == URL_REQUEST_GRANTED) && (id == requestURL) ){
           // An URL has been assigned to me.
           llOwnerSay("Obtained URL: " + body);
           requestURL = NULL_KEY;
       }
       
       
       else if ((method == URL_REQUEST_DENIED) && (id == requestURL)) {
           // I could not obtain a URL
           llOwnerSay("There was a problem, and an URL was not assigned: " + body);
           requestURL = NULL_KEY;
       }

       else if (method == "POST") {
           // An incoming message was received.
           llOwnerSay("Received information from the outside: " + body);
           llHTTPResponse(id,200,"Thank you for calling. All of our operators are busy.");
       }



       else {
           // An incoming message has come in using a method that has not been anticipated.
           llHTTPResponse(id,405,"Unsupported Method");
       }
   }

} </lsl>

Here is the PERL script to contact the prim on the grid.

<perl>

  1. !/usr/bin/perl
  2. Routine to contact a script on the SL Grid using http server

use LWP; require HTTP::Request; use URI::Escape; use strict;


  1. #################################################
  2. Routine to send the information to the prim
  3. submitInformation($url,$information)

sub submitInformation{ 

   # First get the arguments.
   my $url = shift;
   my $information = shift;

   # Create the objects to be used to send out the HTTP request
   my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
   my $request = HTTP::Request->new(POST => $url);

   # Set the encoding method and specify the information to be sent.
   $request->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
   $request->content(uri_escape($information));

   # Send the request.
   my $response = $browser->request($request);

   # Return the information sent back
   return($response->content);

}


  1. Set the URL manually....

my $url = 'http://sim3015.aditi.lindenlab.com:12046/cap/d57a7c8b-3ace-3186-730a-f22fde870d48';

my $info = submitInformation 

   ($url,'id=244195d6-c9b7-4fd6-9229-c3a8b2e60e81&name=M Linden');

print $info,"\n"; </perl>

Here is the Python code that does the same thing as the PERL code above.

<python>

  1. !/usr/bin/python

import urllib


  1. #################################################
  2. Routine to send the information to the prim
  3. submitInformation(url,information)

def submitInformation(url,parameters) : 

   # Set the parameters to be sent.
   encodedParams =  urllib.urlencode(parameters);

   # Post the data.
   net = urllib.urlopen(url,encodedParams);

   # return the result.
   return(net.read());


if __name__ == "__main__": 

   # Set the URL manually
   url = 'http://sim3015.aditi.lindenlab.com:12046/cap/d57a7c8b-3ace-3186-730a-f22fde870d48';

   # Define the parameters
   parameters = {'id':'244195d6-c9b7-4fd6-9229-c3a8b2e60e81',
                 'name':'M Linden'}

   # Pass the information along to the prim
   info = submitInformation(url,parameters);
   print(info);

</python>

Perl/Python Examples Using POST With Argument Parsing

Here are a set of scripts to provide another example using POST. In this example the scripts are adapted to handle the parsing of the arguments that are passed. 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))

<lsl> key requestURL;

// ############################################### // Routine to parse a string sent through the // http server via post. // parsePostData(theMessage) // Returns a strided list with stride length 2. // Each set has the key and then its value. list parsePostData(string message) { 

   list postData = [];         // The list with the data that was passed in.
   list parsedMessage = llParseString2List(message,["&"],[]);    // The key/value pairs parsed into one list.
   integer len = ~llGetListLength(parsedMessage);

   while(++len) {          
       string currentField = llList2String(parsedMessage, len); // Current key/value pair as a string.

       integer split = llSubStringIndex(currentField,"=");     // Find the "=" sign
       if(split == -1) { // There is only one field in this part of the message.
           postData += [llUnescapeURL(currentField),""];  
       } else {
           postData += [llUnescapeURL(llDeleteSubString(currentField,split,-1)), llUnescapeURL(llDeleteSubString(currentField,0,split))];
       }
   }
   // Return the strided list.
   return postData ;

}

default { 

   state_entry() {
       requestURL = llRequestURL(); // Request that an URL be assigned to me.
   }
   
   http_request(key id, string method, string body) {
        list incomingMessage;
       
       if ((method == URL_REQUEST_GRANTED) && (id == requestURL) ){
           // An URL has been assigned to me.
           llOwnerSay("Obtained URL: " + body);
           requestURL = NULL_KEY;
       }
       else if ((method == URL_REQUEST_DENIED) && (id == requestURL)) {
           // I could not obtain a URL
           llOwnerSay("There was a problem, and an URL was not assigned: " + 
                      body);
           requestURL = NULL_KEY;
       }
       else if (method == "POST") {
           // An incoming message was received.
           llOwnerSay("Received information form the outside: " + body);
           incomingMessage = parsePostData(body);
           llOwnerSay(llDumpList2String(incomingMessage,"\n"));

           llHTTPResponse(id,200,"You passed the following:\n" + 
                          llDumpList2String(incomingMessage,"\n"));

       }
       else {
           // An incoming message has come in using a method that has
           // not been anticipated.
           llHTTPResponse(id,405,"Unsupported Method");

   return($encodedString);                           # Send the encoded string.

}


  1. Set the URL manually....

my $url = 'http://sim3015.aditi.lindenlab.com:12046/cap/5a1b89cd-e681-8110-7245-fb98969f32a0';
