http request

[Leo Cloud]

can anyone help me with a HTTP request to take information from a website to display the grid status into a prim?

[Rolig Loon]

The URL for the grid status page is https://status.secondlifegrid.net/ .  To display any URL on a prim,

this does not work what so ever

 

[Leo Cloud]

not sure how it is going to display the grid status

What do you use to display a web-url? A Browser. llSetText is no browser.

Shared media is a browser and Rolig already posted a link about that.

You probably want to look at this, maybe you find something for you:

To answer the question directly, you need to parse the contents of body down to the parts you want. You may need a bigger HTTP_BODY_MAXLENGTH.

To actually do that, you should first inspect what the exact response is. (Manually, so you know what to expect.) From there, you need llGetSubString and llSubStringIndex to find what exactly to use from the response.

Hi guys thanks for the reply what I want to do is create a prim that I can put a grid status info into via a script and it shows up as a digital clock and it gives me information with the grid status every hour is there a type of script that I need to do this i may need help with creating the script hopeless at a script making

[Rolig Loon]

I think you may be imagining something very different from what you described in your OP.  Grid Status is a report created by Linden Lab and displayed at the URL I provided above.  If you want to display that web page on the face of a prim, use Shared Media. I also gave you a link to the Knowledge Base article that tells you how to do that.  You don't need any special LSL script at all. 

I have no idea why you are trying to extract information from the Grid Status Report and put it into hover text, but I am beginning to suspect that you are not really asking about Grid Status at all.  Perhaps you simply want to know whether a specific region is on line at the moment?  If so, you can use llRequestSimulatorData.  There's a very simple example at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlRequestSimulatorData#Examples that you can modify to look for DATA_SIM_STATUS instead of DATA_SIM_RATING.  Just request the information with a timer-triggered call to the function and display the output in hover text if that's what you are after.

If it is for the Grid status, you can also look at RSS feeds or mebbe use the twitter api?

If by "grid status" you understand users online and for example last report posted on https://status.secondlifegrid.net/ then this thingy may help you to get started with your "digital clock" project. That is also a crude example of parsing contents of the response body @Wulfie Reanimator was talking about few messages above.

this is what I am after but I would like it on the prim like this is this possible? I  do like how you added the signups as well as the how many users are inworld as well

You're  missing a curly bracket to close your last else if test (plus whatever that test was meant to trigger).  Add them and things should work.

BTW, I know that Xyzzy text has been around for a long time in various versions, but I think you'll probably find Furware Text easier to use.

thanks again for the reply from where do I put the curly bracket when i do this i get another error

Take a good look at the code you posted.

There's nothing following that second  if test and the first one opens with a curly bracket that is never closed.  You obviously meant to finish writing the code, but never did.  Nearly everyone I know forgets to match brackets or parentheses occasionally.  It's a pretty common mistake.  That's where an editor like Sublime Text, which highlights matching brackets for you, can help.  It won't help you with missing a whole block of code, though.

that is fixed but now I get    an error with this code gBuildText += \nGrid: " + cutString(body,"status")

I dont see anything wrong with this line do you?

[Dyna Mole]

There is a quotation mark missing in that line.

Look for a missing quotation mark..... 😏

[Sabrina Tamerlane]

Make sure that you have well closed the if block as Rolig said. If you are in doubt check if you have the same number of '{' and '}'.

[Leo Cloud]

I added the quotation mark and I am getting the same error

 

http_response(key request_id, integer status, list metadata, string body)

        {
            gBuildText += Updated: + llGetTimestamp();

            {
                gBuildText += " \nGrid: " + cutString(body, "status");

    }
 
}

[Rolig Loon]

Frustrating, isn't it?  Chasing brackets and parentheses and quotation marks is like playing Whack-A-Mole.  Yours keep moving around, so now you have them where they don't belong and you're missing them where they do. 

[Innula Zenovka]

        else if (request_id == gHttpRequestId2)
        {
            if (status == 200 && llSubStringIndex(body, "<item>") != -1){
                //do something
            }
        }

 

[Sabrina Tamerlane]

You have the solution in your own posts, because you forgot to copy part of the code you had.
