Getting land or group owner name from key

What am I doing wrong here?

This line produces a valid key:
llOwnerSay((string)llGetLandOwnerAt(llGetPos()));


But this line produces a blank string:
llOwnerSay((string)llKey2Name(llGetLandOwnerAt(llGetPos())));

I'm having the same issue trying to get the group name from land as well. I've tried this method and also tried parsing it from llGetParcelDetails. Both methods return a valid key but I can't resolve the name from the keys.

If the owner is not in the Sim, you will have to do an llHTTPRequest (from something like Whitehat at http://w-hat.com/name2key) to get the actual name from the key. Hope this helps! :-)

Or feed it to http://search.secondlife.com/...

/me tries to find the scriptable API but it's hiding on me. I'm pretty sure there is one, tho.

oh I thought it was just that you couldn't get a key from a name unless they were in the same sim. Didn't realize it applied to llKey2Name as well.

Odd though that this didn't work for me on my own land either. Obviously I was there. :)

edit: I should add that my land is group land - but I am the group officer so I'm not sure how that should work.

llRequestAgentData( llGetLandOwnerAt( llGetPos() ), DATA_NAME );
