Is there a way to read JSON-Data with llHTTPRequest?

When I try to do it, I get an unsupported content-type error... :(

JSON is text-based (as far as I know), so in theory, it should be possible. You'd have to write a parser for it though, and be very wary of memory limits.

What is it you're doing at the moment that causes the error?

if you own the webserver i think you'll need to set the mimetype in the response to text/plain not application/json -- http_response only accepts text/plain and text/html afaik

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, it looks like SL doesn't accept JSON-types. Found Jira-entry meanwhile.
The Webserver isn't mine, so I can't do anything about it...
I meanwhile wrote a PHP-Script that runs on my server which gets and parses the JSON-Data and then passes it on to SL...
I don't like that, but hey, at least it works :)
