🎒 Examples

(HTTP.Request) Makes a synchronous HTTP Request

local ret = HTTP.Request("127.0.0.1:7777", "/", HTTPMethod.GET, "", "application/json", false, {})

Console.Log(ret.Status) -- 200
Console.Log(ret.Data) -- "{"players_count":0,"server_name":"nanos world server"}"
Console.Log(ret.Headers["Content-Type"]) -- "application/json"

(HTTP.RequestAsync) Makes an asynchronous HTTP Request

HTTP.RequestAsync("127.0.0.1:7777", "/", HTTPMethod.GET, "", "application/json", false, {}, function(status, data, headers)
	Console.Log(status) -- 200
	Console.Log(data) -- "{"players_count":0,"server_name":"nanos world server"}"
	Console.Log(headers["Content-Type"]) -- "application/json"

	-- TIP: You can parse it if it's a json return as well
	local json_ret = JSON.parse(data)
end)

tip

All requests are thread safe! 🥳 This means that callbacks are returned on the main thread!

Blocking

Request

Makes a synchronous HTTP Request.

The request will be made synchronously and will freeze the server until it's done.

local ret = HTTP.Request(uri, endpoint?, method?, data?, content_type?, compress?, headers?)

Parameters

Type	Parameter	Default	Description
string	uri	Required parameter	The main URI (the base address)
string	endpoint?		The endpoint
HTTPMethod	method?	HTTPMethod.GET	The HTTP Method to be used
string	data?		Payload
string	content_type?	application/json	The Content Type to be used
boolean	compress?	false	Whether or not to compress the content with gzip
table	headers?	{}	The Headers to be used

Returns

Type	Description
table	Table with the response <code>Status</code>, <code>Data</code> and <code>Headers</code> with this format

HTTP.Request Examples

Makes a synchronous HTTP Request

local ret = HTTP.Request("127.0.0.1:7777", "/", HTTPMethod.GET, "", "application/json", false, {})

Console.Log(ret.Status) -- 200
Console.Log(ret.Data) -- "{"players_count":0,"server_name":"nanos world server"}"
Console.Log(ret.Headers["Content-Type"]) -- "application/json"

Optimal

RequestAsync

Makes an asynchronous HTTP Request.

The request will be made asynchronously and returned safely in the same thread in the callback provided when it's done.

Note: If a request is still running when unloading packages, the server will freeze until it's finished, then the package will unload.

HTTP.RequestAsync(uri, endpoint?, method?, data?, content_type?, compress?, headers?, callback?)

Parameters

Type	Parameter	Default	Description
string	uri	Required parameter	The main URI (the base address)
string	endpoint?		The endpoint
HTTPMethod	method?	HTTPMethod.GET	The HTTP Method to be used
string	data?		Payload
string	content_type?	application/json	The Content Type to be used
boolean	compress?	false	Whether or not to compress the content with gzip
table	headers?	{}	The Headers to be used
function	callback?	nil	The result with this format
