Summary

Function: llSetContentType( key request_id, integer content_type );

Sets the "Wikipedia logo"Internet media type "Content-Type" header of any subsequent LSL HTTP server response via llHTTPResponse.

• key request_id a valid http_request() key
• integer content_type Media type to use with any following llHTTPResponse(request_id, ...)

content_type Content-Type
CONTENT_TYPE_TEXT 0 text/plain
CONTENT_TYPE_HTML 1 text/html
CONTENT_TYPE_XML 2 application/xml
CONTENT_TYPE_XHTML 3 application/xhtml+xml
CONTENT_TYPE_ATOM 4 application/atom+xml
CONTENT_TYPE_JSON 5 application/json
CONTENT_TYPE_LLSD 6 application/llsd+xml
CONTENT_TYPE_FORM 7 application/x-www-form-urlencoded
CONTENT_TYPE_RSS 8 application/rss+xml

Caveats

  • When using CONTENT_TYPE_HTML, this setting will be ignored unless all of these conditions are met:
    1. the web browser is the Second Life client
    2. the user (logged into the SL client viewing the page) is the owner of the object.
    3. the user (logged into the SL client viewing the page) is connected to the region the object is located in
    Obviously this is not compatible with group owned objects. One way around this limitation would be to temporarily attach a repeater.

Examples

key url_request;

string HTML_BODY =
"<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Heading</h1>

<p>My first paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>";

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        url_request = llRequestURL();
    }

    http_request(key id, string method, string body)
    {
        key owner = llGetOwner();
        vector ownerSize = llGetAgentSize(owner);

        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);

            //  if owner in sim
                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
        {
            llOwnerSay("request body:\n" + body);

        //  if owner in sim
            if (ownerSize)//  != ZERO_VECTOR
            {
                llSetContentType(id, CONTENT_TYPE_HTML);
                llHTTPResponse(id, 200, HTML_BODY);
            }
            else
            {
                llSetContentType(id, CONTENT_TYPE_TEXT);
                llHTTPResponse(id, 200, "OK");
            }
        }
    }
}

The client and owner limitations are most likely to remove the possibility of running a website from a prim.
