llRequestURL checking

[xigaro]

I use llRequestURL() in my script to get a URL for incoming HTTP requests. Is there a way my script can check the URL is still alive? I'd rather do it in script if possible, instead of pinging out to a server to do a remote test.

From the docs it looks like the URL will be removed under certain conditions so I've made sure the URL is re-created when the events trigger. But I don't feel confident that the URL will stay alive under all other circumstances. A check every 60 minutes or so would put me at ease.

What's the best way to check a llRequestURL() URL is still active and working?

Thanks!

As for checking, the only way is to try to connect to the script from outside (either outworld or another script). The cliennt doing the test doesn't have to be external. LSL doesn't provide a function to check if the URL is still valid.

Thank you Darkie I don't know why I didn't think of that! I put this together and it looks like I can test from the same script:

 

 

key request_id;string request_url;default{    state_entry()    {        // Open URL        request_id = llRequestURL();                // Set hovertext        llSetText("Touch me to kill the URL", <1,1,1>, 1.0);    }        http_request(key id, string method, string body)    {        if (method == URL_REQUEST_GRANTED)        {            // We were granted a URL, store it            request_url = body;                        // Start timer to test URL            llSetTimerEvent(10);        } else if (method == "GET") {            // Assume this is the script testing the URL            llHTTPResponse(id, 200, "OK");        }    }        timer()    {        // Test the URL with an HTTP request        llHTTPRequest(request_url, [], "");    }        http_response(key request_id, integer status, list metadata, string body)    {        if (status == 200)        {            llOwnerSay("URL is still working correctly");        } else {            llOwnerSay("URL failed with status code " + (string)status);        }    }    touch_start(integer total_number)    {        // Kill the URL        llReleaseURL(request_url);                // Set hovertext        llSetText("URL no longer available", <1,1,1>, 1.0);    }}
