HTTP API Bug

I have a website, and it has a domain. The domain is budgie.blue, but the HTTP API seems to not work with that. Instead I have to use its IP address. While this isn't a hassle, its a bit unsettling. Thanks!

Well. I dont know how you're connecting to your domain, but I am able to connect to your website with ease.

lua> x=http.get("http://budgie.blue/")
lua> x
table: somerandomID
lua> x.close()

I think you might have forgotten to add the http:// and then added www. (which in some cases appear to mess things up a bit, and hopefully in your case not work.)


And here is an example of which methods, in my cases, work


I hope this helped you.

Also the settings for Computercraft should've been fixed, so i dont think the domain you're looking for is being blacklisted by CC. (If so, then change the whitelist to *)

(This is not a replicable bug, unless you prove otherwise with more examples/tests)

Indeed, some more details as to how to reproduce the issue are required here. Where's your code, and what's the CC version?

I'm not sure of the version, I'm using CCEmuRedux. My code is

mail = http.post("http://budgie.blue/skyview/feedback.php","message=TestingFeedbackRelay")
if(mail) then
  mail.close
  return true
end
return false

What that does is send a POST request to my feedback relay on my webserver, which sends a message to a public email me and some others use for a collab i'm in. If I use the ip (45.34.14.48), then it works. With the actual domain itself, it doesn't send anything to my email, but it does return true.

… so why were you posting this as a ComputerCraft bug?

Test it in-game, see if your posted message comes through, and if it still doesn't work try the variants Mikk809h gave you.

Perhaps your webhost is blocking non-browser User Agents? Cloudflare protected sites do this by default.

I doubt it. But it could be a problem with IIS Express? I have a Windows Server, and all the sites are stored in a wwwroot folder.

I've tried this many times in-game. Also CCEmuRedux uses a copy of ComputerCraft.jar, so I would bet it would be replicated in Minecraft.

Even if it uses the CC jar, it isn't CC and will work differently and have it's quirks. Test it in game so that you are sure that the problem ISN'T CCEmuRedux.

It's most likely cloudflare, I've had a problem similar to this and had to either remove cloudflare or allow it in the cloudflare settings.

I don't use CloudFlare :P/>

if the server runs the CC client and connects to localhost does it have the same issue?
