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 Example
Here are a pair of scripts to provide another example. 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. <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 form 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>
