hi I was wondering if any one has a good example of the script that would be used by a server to handle a sls llHTTPRequest. I'm excited by the possibility of storing / accessing data out side of sl. But I've never used html post/get before, I"m not sure if I should be using php + mySQL, or some other mix, cgi + mySQL, extra. Quick and easy development is important.

Whichever language/storage you prefer that can manage post/get data should be sufficent.

www.irresponsiblecybernetics.com/~nekosune/where.php just shows wwhere I am on the preview updating every 5 min

Here is the LSL code I used :
CODE

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(300);
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llSay(0, "Touched.");
    }
    timer()
    {
        llHTTPRequest("http://www.irresponsiblecybernetics.com/~nekosune/is.php",[],"");
}
}




and here is the php code I used for the URL the script calls
CODE

<?
$fp=fopen("loc.txt","w");
$region=$HTTP_X_SECONDLIFE_REGION;
$location=$HTTP_X_SECONDLIFE_LOCAL_POSITION;
$reg=explode(" ",$region);
$region=$reg[0];
fputs($fp,$region.$location);
?>



all where.php does is read out loc.txt

I would like to ask in wiki(http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=llHTTPRequest) it is written :
----
You can do a maximum of 20 consequtive requests, after that no more requests can be done for a time. One request per 4 seconds seem to be safe.
----
and
----
HTTP requests made using llHTTPRequest are throttled based on the script owner making the requests. The limitiation seems to be per region also.
----

did you encountered some limitation from practical side during using this script? for how long are you using this script?
Also I want to ask, how do you make this script work all time? is it working in some object, that you are always wearing while in world?
thanx in advance

They do have a pretty restrictive throttling:

Enjoy! :p
