EnderCC: Easy HTTP networking

EnderCC is a HTTP framework. It's easy to use and you don't have to setup your own server!

Download:
pastebin get V91n5SXC ender

Usage in a lua prompt:
On one computer:

os.loadAPI("ender")
ender.connect("testchannel")
-- Send message on other computer
ender.receive("testchannel")

On the other:

os.loadAPI("ender")
ender.send("testchannel", "Hello!"))
ender.getName("testchannel") -- The computers name that appears to other clients

Isn't this basically the modem API?

It's meant to be like the modem API, but it is via http, vis an external server. It has infinite range and works between dimensions and even servers. (at least that's what I think)

Ow nice! Yea, I kinda missed the HTTP part. Lack of sleep is getting to me!

Yes, it's designed for cross world and server communication.

So is this your way of making that email between servers you mentioned on irresponsiblecraft?

Whenever I try to use this API, I always get an error on line 113.

I'm trying to use the examples provided.

That's odd. What is the error? Line 113 is just an http.get. Do you have HTTP enabled?

I have HTTP enabled. I believe the error I receive is a "index nil value" error

Are you sure you have http on? Try typing http.get("http://fluidnode.com/ping") into a lua console.
If that works, are you using the latest version?

It seems you need to pass an argument to ender.receive, otherwise ender.connect (which is called by ender.receive) searches for nil in the connected channels list, which isn't there, so it calls rawStart to connect to 'nil'. rawStart calls http.get with a string concatenated with the channel which is nil, and baam, "attempt to concatenate string and nil"

Then, line 179,

chans[channel] --# needs to be:
chans[channel][1]

Sending doesn't work serverside, if I try to send "hey" in a browser, it errors:

TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'forEach'

I love the idea, and I'd love to see this in action :)/>

How do I use the API to send strings? I'm currently trying to make a cross server chat for my OS (you will be credited) and when I tried pasting the message on the screen of the receiving end, it came up with "truetest" and then a bunch of characters and numbers. It looks as though it's been encrypted :P/> how do I convert it back?
