llHttpRequest help

I am working on a wedding and want to feed a list of names via a notecard and have the script take the names and lookup the key for each.

I have no probs getting the names in. But what I am having probs with is processing the http requests in a sequential fashion. Here are som e code snippets. First is a function that goes thru the list:

send_invites() {
    llSay(0,"Sending invitations.");
    integer i;
    
    for (i=0;i < nNames;i++) {
        NAME=llStringTrim(llList2String(names,i),STRING_TRIM);
        llOwnerSay("Sending to "+NAME);
        reqid = llHTTPRequest( URL + "?terse=1&name=" +
                               llEscapeURL(NAME), [], "" );
    }        
}

The httpresponse is as follows:

    http_response(key id, integer status, list meta, string body) {
        //llOwnerSay("id="+(string)id+" status="+(string)status+" body="+body+" reqid="+(string)reqid);
        if ( id != reqid )
            return;
        if ( status == 499 )
            llOwnerSay("name2key request timed out");
        else if ( status != 200 )
            llOwnerSay("the internet exploded!!");
        else if ( (key)body == NULL_KEY )
            llOwnerSay("No key found for " + NAME);
        else{
            llOwnerSay(NAME + "'s key is: " + body );
        }
    }    

I'm just printing out each person's key for now. Anyone know how to get this to flow for each name in the list?

Thanks.

Ummmmm..... It worked?

How the heck do I post code snippets?

That's easy... almost. Just be sure that any "< " signs don't have non-numeric characters after them or the forums will spit the post back at you. There are few other arcane warnings, but that's the biggie. Oh, and for everyone's convenience in reading your code, put

 .... 

markers around it so the forum preserves your indentation.

Good luck .... from one Loon to another.

ETA: Those other arcane warnings are at

Tried the php /php markers and no luck. When I have the code snippets in there it says that the newthread.php or editthread.php script does not exist on an error page.

The tags work like this.....

default
{
     state_entry()
     {
          llSay(0,"This is dummy code.");
     }
}

They won't affect whether the code gets posted or not, but they do make a difference when it comes to readability. The business with the < symbols is what usually kills a post.

Well, I'm glad we solved the posting problem....

Yes... Instead of doing your successive calls to http_response from a function, do it from inside the http_response event itself.

I think this will work.

    http_response(key id, integer status, list meta, string body) {
        //llOwnerSay("id="+(string)id+" status="+(string)status+" body="+body+" reqid="+(string)reqid);
        integer i;
        if ( id != reqid )
            return;
        if ( status == 499 )
            llOwnerSay("name2key request timed out");
        else if ( status != 200 )
            llOwnerSay("the internet exploded!!");
        else if ( (key)body == NULL_KEY )
            llOwnerSay("No key found for " + NAME);
        else{
            llOwnerSay(NAME + "'s key is: " + body );
        }
        if (++i < nNames)
        {
             NAME=llStringTrim(llList2String(names,i),STRING_TRIM);
             llOwnerSay("Sending to "+NAME);
             reqid = llHTTPRequest( URL + "?terse=1&name=" +
                               llEscapeURL(NAME), [], "" );
         }             
    }    

ETA: You obviously have to make your initial call from outside the event:

             NAME=llStringTrim(llList2String(names,0),STRING_TRIM);
             llOwnerSay("Sending to "+NAME);
             reqid = llHTTPRequest( URL + "?terse=1&name=" +
                               llEscapeURL(NAME), [], "" );

Ah, very good. I didn't think of treating it like dataserver. I think I have it working now. Thank you.

makes my life so much easier.

Cool. Good luck with it.

    http_response(key id, integer status, list meta, string body) {
        //llOwnerSay("id="+(string)id+" status="+(string)status+" body="+body+" reqid="+(string)reqid);
        integer i;<-- not where you want to declare that, needs to be global  
        if ( id != reqid )
            return;
        if ( status == 499 )
            llOwnerSay("name2key request timed out");
        else if ( status != 200 )
            llOwnerSay("the internet exploded!!");
        else if ( (key)body == NULL_KEY )
            llOwnerSay("No key found for " + NAME);
        else{
            llOwnerSay(NAME + "'s key is: " + body );
        }
        if (++i < nNames)
        {
             NAME=llStringTrim(llList2String(names,i),STRING_TRIM);
             llOwnerSay("Sending to "+NAME);
             reqid = llHTTPRequest( URL + "?terse=1&name=" +
                               llEscapeURL(NAME), [], "" );
         }  
    }    

but the concept is there... treat it just like a notecard reader

Ooops. Right.
