[How to get agent's name given the UUID (outside SL)]

I store agent UUIDs in my database and want to show the current agent legacy or display names on my website given the agent UUID. Is there a way to do this? I searched a lot but can't find a way. Thanks!

I have found how to work around this problem by storing and updating agent's names in my database as well but it is very inefficient this way.

This might be a silly question, but have you verified that the object in-world has been assigned a URL? And that the assigned URL is being pointed to by your PHP scripts?

(Thinking this as URLs aren't permanent, which could explain breakage if a different URL is assigned)

Yeah, I see that too but all of my in-world object using URLs are just fine, and I can still ping them even with fresh URLs. Might just be limited to requests on port :80 / 443, or requests not going to a specific simulator (i.e. no prefix)

Thanks a lot! Problem solved!  It was the secure vs insecure URL. When Hostgator stopped working for me I tried everything including I changed llRequestURL() to llRequestSecureURL(). When I moved to Bluehost things were not working either. Now I changed back to llRequestURL() and Bluehost works yay.  OMG this was terribly frustrating. Thanks all for the discussion. It helped a lot.

yes, copied and pasted the URL for a test... multiple times

Yes, I tried the two examples linked in the other thread. Neither of them reaches my LSL scripts. The requests do not arrive. The same with curl. The example with fsockopen fails at fsockopen on port 12043. I had that port enabled for outgoing TCP.

The hosting companies keep asking me what are the SL requirements for incoming HTTP requests. All I can tell them is open ports 12043, 12046 and enable curl.... That's why I wonder if there is anything else I am missing. Hostgator stopped working for me and they have no clue why. Now I tried dedicated server on Bluehost, doesn't work either...

Have you tried the other PHP example you mentioned from the Wiki on the other thread? That would at least give us a better idea of where the request is failing (failing at webhost, failing in transit, fail once it reaches LL, etc).

I am transferring my PHP scripts (that send HTTP requests to SL) to another host. The new host has curl enabled and ports 12043 and 12046 for outgoing HTTP requests. Still my LSL scripts do not receive the HTTP requests. The same PHP and LSL scripts worked fine for years until last Wednesday. Are there any other requirements for the settings of the external server? Thanks!

I have a simple example, dunno if it helps...

Thank you very much!

Is there a list of web hosting providers who are confirmed to be working well with SL? Meaning, that are confirmed to be able to send HTTP requests to SL?

The chances are that your webhost may have disabled port 12043, you might want to file a ticket with them to confirm if that port is open for incoming data.

Thanks! I've asked them and they have been working on it for hours now....... Is there any other PHP example out there I can try, for sending an HTTP request to SL?

Thank you, Jenna! Do you mean that my web host has disabled HTTP requests on port 12043? This port 12043 comes from the SURL granted to my object in SL that receives the HTTP requests. The original address is https://simhost-00a87dc0fe6fa060a.agni.secondlife.io:12043/cap/8b3ebe81-2ecc-d90c-ec74-fae3689e91cf/

The the function above takes the port 12043 from it and sends a request to ssl://simhost-00a87dc0fe6fa060a.agni.secondlife.io

Or did LL firewalled something yesterday?

A little update. I replaced by curl request by the simpler request from the SL wiki:

function Advanced_HTTP_Request($Host, $PostData = "")
{
 $Method = "POST";
 if (empty($PostData))
  {$Method = "GET";}
 $Port = 80;
 if (strtolower(substr($Host, 0, 5)) == "https")
  {$Port = 443;}
 $Host = explode("//", $Host, 2);
 if (count($Host) < 2)
  {$Host[1] = $Host[0];}
 $Host = explode("/", $Host[1], 2);
 if ($Port == 443)
  {$SSLAdd = "ssl://";}
 $Host[0] = explode(":", $Host[0]);
 if (count($Host[0]) > 1)
 {
  $Port = $Host[0][1];
  $Host[0] = $Host[0][0];
 }
 else
  {$Host[0] = $Host[0][0];}
 $Socket = fsockopen($SSLAdd.$Host[0], $Port, $Dummy1, $Dummy2, 10);
 if ($Socket)
 {
  fputs($Socket, "$Method /$Host[1] HTTP/1.1\r\n".
				 "Host: $Host[0]\r\n".
				 "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n".
				 "User-Agent: Opera/9.01 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)\r\n".
				 "Accept-Language: de-DE,de;q=0.9,en;q=0.8\r\n".
				 "Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1, utf-8, utf-16, *;q=0.1\r\n".
				 "Content-length: ".strlen($PostData)."\r\n".
				 "Connection: close\r\n".
				 "\r\n".
				 $PostData);
  $Tme = time();
  while(!feof($Socket) && $Tme + 30 > time())
   {$Res = $Res.fgets($Socket, 256);}
  fclose($Socket);
 }
 $Res = explode("\r\n\r\n", $Res, 2);
 return $Res[1];
}
?>

This is from https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_HTTP_server/examples. In this function fsockopen fails and the parameters it is called with are:

$Host = ssl://simhost-00a87dc0fe6fa060a.agni.secondlife.io

$Port = 12043

$Dummy1 = 111

$Dummy2 = Connection refused

Hi All, I have a system in which scripts in SL receive HTTP requests from PHP scripts outside SL. All has been working fine for years until yesterday when it suddenly stopped. My LSL scripts stopped receiving http requests sent to them. Is there something going on that I am not aware of?

I should add, these are curl HTTP requests I am sending from outside.

Thank you! I'll try to find a better forum.

Sorry, it was a problem on my side, which I fixed.

 Hello, my curl HTTP requests from outside to SL suddenly stopped working. Does anybody know if SL has made any changes to incoming HTTP requests today or yesterday?

[Marketplace doesn't let me in]

I am premium but the alt I am trying to shop with is not. I wonder if I can ask for premium support for it...

[Marketplace doesn't let me in]

Hi, I'm trying to shop with an alt on the MP and I keep getting "So sorry to keep you waiting. We'll be right back!" for a week or so. What should I do? Thanks!

 

 

[marketplace error]

Today I bought something on the MP. For some reason, in my basket I had an old item of mine which is no longer listed. I did not pay attention, I hit pay and I did pay for both items. I was charged for my old non existing product and I was not refunded.

My order history says that I bought my item from myself. It was undelivered and it was unpaid. BUT the money was withdrawn from my account.

Who should I talk to about this? Where did the money go?
