request details from shoutcast

im trying to get this to work and having no luck, it seams like it should im requesting the body of the page but it isnt sending anything, on my server it is saying a Invalid resource request(/7.html)

default
{
state_entry()
{
    llHTTPRequest("http://208.101.149.213:8000/7.html",[],"");
}
//...
http_response(key id, integer status, list metadata, string body)
{
    llOwnerSay(body);
}
}

That is an odd port number. Are you sure it's not meant to be 8080?

ya port is right

A quick whois on the IP address suggests you're running the server on your local computer? You probably just need to open the port on your hardware/software firewall to let Second Life access it.

ports are open, i can host and everything, it gets a connections from secondlife but it dosent return anything from body all i see is

object:

look up a set of PHP scripts called scstats. You need to host these scripts on your server and config them to point to your SC server. Make your httprequest go to the scstats.php file. Edit the online.php and offline.php to show how you want (line breaks etc.). Display the results as floating text or however you want. This works as I have done it myself.

I tried your script from SL after I tweaked it a little to this:

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llSay(0,"One moment...");
        requestid = llHTTPRequest("http://208.101.149.213:8000/7.html", [HTTP_METHOD, "POST", HTTP_MIMETYPE, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"], "");
    }

    http_response(key request_id, integer status, list metadata, string body)
    {
        llSay(0,"Here's the response..");
        if (request_id == requestid) {
            if(status == 499) llSay(0, "Request time out. Please try again.");
            else if(status != 200) llSay(0, "An unknown error occured.");
            else if(body == "") llSay(0, "body is empty");
            else llSay(0,body);
        }
    }
}

All I got was a status 499 though.
It looks to me there's something wrong with either your server or your firewall.

I also tried the above script on my own server and it works just fine.

This is how I do it, hope it helps.

this script takes a URL, sets the parcel Media Stream and displays the stream info in floating text, updated ever 60 seconds.

Try this instead

llHTTPRequest(CurURL+"/7.html HTTP/1.0\nUser-Agent: XML Getter (Mozilla Compatible)\n\n",[],"";

Where CurURL is your server

Look in your HTTP server's error log. Internal errors could easily cause an empty reply or an HTTP error.

EDIT: Oh, yeah. If you're getting timeouts that is most likely a firewall issue.

EDIT EDIT: Oops. But 499 isn't a timeout error, actually. I think SL returns 499 when you have a badly formatted URL and/or when the MIME type/character encoding isn't one it likes or something like that.

worked now to make it into a list and pull info out of it lol
thanks for all the help
