Function: string llGetHTTPHeader( key request_id, string header );
0.0 Forced Delay

Returns a string that is the value for header for request_id.

• key request_id – A valid HTTP request key.
• string header – Header value name.

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

Common Headers

header description example
"user-agent" The user-agent header as reported by the requester

llHTTPRequest Headers

Headers sent by the simulator in the course of calling llHTTPRequest.
Header Description Example data
connection Connection options close
cache-control Maximum response age accepted. max-age=259200

content-length The size of the entity-body, in decimal number of octets. 17
pragma The message should be forwarded to the server, even if it has a cached version of the data. no-cache
x-secondlife-shard The environment the object is in. "Production" is the main grid and "Testing" is the preview grid Production
x-secondlife-region The name of the region the object is in, along with the global coordinates of the region's south-west corner Jin Ho (264448, 233984)
x-secondlife-owner-name Legacy name of the owner of the object Zeb Wyler
x-secondlife-owner-key UUID of the owner of the object 01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef
x-secondlife-object-name The name of the object containing the script Object
x-secondlife-object-key The key of the object containing the script 01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef
x-secondlife-local-velocity The velocity of the object 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000

x-secondlife-local-position The position of the object within the region (173.009827, 75.551231, 60.950001)
user-agent The user-agent header sent by LSL Scripts. Contains Server version. Second Life LSL/16.05.24.315768 (http://secondlife.com)
content-type The media type of the entity body. text/plain; charset=utf-8
accept-charset Acceptable character sets from the server. Q being the quality expected when sending the different character sets. utf-8;q=1.0, *;q=0.5
accept Media types the server will accept. text/*, application/xhtml+xml, application/atom+xml, application/json, application/xml, application/llsd+xml, application/x-javascript, application/javascript, application/x-www-form-urlencoded, application/rss+xml
accept-encoding Acceptable content encodings for the server. deflate, gzip
host The internet host being requested. secondlife.com
  • CGI environments may place the headers into variables by capitalizing the entire name, replacing dashes with underscores, and prefixing the name with "HTTP_", e.g. "x-secondlife-object-name" becomes "HTTP_X_SECONDLIFE_OBJECT_NAME".
  • HTTP header names are case insensitive [1]. Some ISPs may modify the case of header names, as was seen in BUG-5094.

Examples

<lsl> key url_request;

default { 

   state_entry()
   {
       url_request = llRequestURL();
   }
   http_request(key id, string method, string body)
   {
       if (url_request == id)
       {
           url_request = "";
           if (method == URL_REQUEST_GRANTED)
           {
               llOwnerSay("URL: " + body);
               if(llGetAgentSize(llGetOwner()))
                   llLoadURL(llGetOwner(), "", body);
           }
           else if (method == URL_REQUEST_DENIED)
           {
               llOwnerSay( "Something went wrong, no url. " + body);
           }
       }
       else
       {
           list headers = [ "x-script-url", "x-path-info", "x-query-string", "x-remote-ip", "user-agent" ];
           integer pos = ~llGetListLength(headers);
           while( ++pos )
           {
               string header = llList2String(headers, pos);
               llOwnerSay(header + ": " + llGetHTTPHeader(id, header));
           }
           llOwnerSay( "body: " + body);
           llHTTPResponse(id, 200, body);
       }
