trying to connect to world wide web

i am trying to make a program that indexes a website and then reads and executes a program on that site but i keep getting a examplecode:9: attempt to index? (a nil value)
here is the code:


if http == nil then
print('Please enable the http api.')
print('Look for enableAPI_http=0 in .minecraft/config/mod_ComputerCraft and change the zero to a one and then restart Minecraft')
return false
end

urlBase = 'http://examplesite.com'

package.get(file)
package.load(file)
shell.run(file)

what did i do wrong?

This lines are the problem:

package.get(file)
package.load(file)

package is not defined. If you'r trying to use the lua package "api", it's disabled in CC.
If it's a custom api, then you have to load it with os.loadAPI.

thanks!
that helped

wait, that world be

os.Load(file)?

No, there's no such function.
If you want to load an api, use:

os.loadAPI("<Path to the API file>")

then use it like:

<ApiName>.<Function>()

where ApiName is the name of the api file.

To get the file from the web, use the http api:

local file = http.get(<URL>)
if file then
  local contents = file.readAll()
  -- do whatever you want with the contents, like saving it to a file
  file.close()
end

thanks!
