Summary
Function: string llGetHTTPHeader( key request_id, string header );| 0.0 | Forced Delay |
| 10.0 | Energy |
Returns a string that is the value for header for request_id.
| • key | request_id | – | A valid HTTP request key. | |
| • string | header | – | Lower case header value name. |
Returns an empty string if the header is not found, if the request_id is not a valid key received through the http_request event, or if the headers can no longer be accessed. Headers can only be accessed before llHTTPResponse is called and with-in the first 30 seconds after the http_request event is queued.
Specification
Generated Headers
These headers are automatically generated by the simulator, they were not actually sent by the requesting client. They supply information about the request to make parsing easier.
Sample URL: https://sim3015.aditi.lindenlab.com:12043/cap/a7717681-2c04-e4ac-35e3-1f01c9861322/foo/bar?arg=gra
| header | description | example |
|---|---|---|
| "x-script-url" | The base url, as originally received from llRequestURL/llRequestSecureURL | https://sim3015.aditi.lindenlab.com:12043/cap/a7717681-2c04-e4ac-35e3-1f01c9861322 |
| "x-path-info" | Any trailing path information from the requested url | /foo/bar |
| "x-query-string" | Any query arguments, the text past the first "?" in the url | arg=gra |
| "x-remote-ip" | IP address of the host that made the request |

Caveats
- Header information becomes inaccessible after 30 seconds or if llHTTPResponse is called.
- Function returns an empty string in any context outside the http_request event. For instance, it cannot be used in the http_response event.
- Custom headers are not supported, only the headers listed in the specification are supported.
- LSL is not a CGI environment
- "Content-Type" is an example of a normal header name, in a CGI environment the name would be "HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE".
- header must be lower case (or it will match nothing). All header names are converted to lower case when they are received.
- When making a request...
- The path part of the URL must be prefixed with a forward slash
- In order to use the query string, you must include a path (even if it is just a slash)
Examples
key url_request;
default
{
state_entry()
{
url_request = llRequestURL();
}
http_request(key id, string method, string body)
{
if (url_request == id)
{
// if you're usually not resetting the query ID
// now is a good time to start!
url_request = "";
if (method == URL_REQUEST_GRANTED)
{
llOwnerSay("URL: " + body);
key owner = llGetOwner();
vector ownerSize = llGetAgentSize(owner);
if (ownerSize)// != ZERO_VECTOR
llLoadURL(owner, "I got a new URL!", body);
}
else if (method == URL_REQUEST_DENIED)
llOwnerSay("Something went wrong, no url:\n" + body);
}
else
{
list headerList = ["x-script-url",
"x-path-info", "x-query-string",
"x-remote-ip", "user-agent"];
integer index = -llGetListLength(headerList);
do
{
string header = llList2String(headerList, index);
llOwnerSay(header + ": " + llGetHTTPHeader(id, header));
}
while (++index);
llOwnerSay("body:\n" + body);
llHTTPResponse(id, 200, body);
}
}
}
