Pro Tip!
llHTTPRequest can return null key. Means you're llHTTPRequest-ing too fast, generally. To keep it reliable, you need to do something like this:
<lsl>
key req;
while(NULL_KEY == req=llHTTPRequest("http://example.com/",[],"")) {
llOwnerSay("uh oh throttle");
llSleep(5.0);
}
</lsl>
The sleep should probably be longer, perhaps 20 seconds. Even better, defer the HTTP request for 10 or 20 seconds with a timer so your event queue can be serviced while the llHTTPRequest throttle is in effect.
