<solved> how to make HTTP request in VD

[WimF 1]

hello,

i have following http request working in a scene but would like to transfer it to a VD but can't get it working.

 

jtable =('{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":6538,"method":"read","params":{"objects":[{"id":"111","properties":{"85":{}}}]}}')

local http = net.HTTPClient()
local url=("http://192.168.0.34//api")
   http:request(url, {
    options={ 
      method = "POST";
      data = jtable
       },
    success = function(status)
      print("Success: "..status.status);
      if status.status == 200 then
        print(status.data);
      else
        print(status.status);
      end
    end
    })
  

 

I would also like to change the "id" in jtable for a local or global variable.

 

Hope someone can help me as i am stuck at this moment.

 

 

thanks

Isn't POST a Scene only feature? I know there are some things you can do in Scene but not in VD.. dunno if there is a list of that somewhere..

POST can be in VD either.

What does it currently output? Does it error? Did you place some debug lines in there etc?

current failure is :

 

[ERROR] 12:29:13: line 4: '' expected near '('

 

 

and this does not give me any clue about what's going on.

It must be something that doesn't work in a VD since this is running fine in a scene.

Try adjusting: local url=("http://192.168.0.34//api")

to local url="http://192.168.0.34//api"

 

Atlhough it might work on the Scene, VD might not like that syntax.

@riemers thanks for your response.

 

the change doesn't work in a VD ( same error). 

Everything is running fine in a Scene as is but  i like to have this in a VD.

I tried that and the error is gone now, however the status reporting that the request was successful is now not working anymore.

found the problem.

I was using some print statements to see what happened but when i changed the "print" for "fibaro:debug" this works fine and i get the expected result.

Is "print" working in VD ??
