HTTPRequests

Jesburger

Is there something I'm not seeing or is the only way of doing HTTPS requests by having the request connect through a signal to another function? I'm trying to get multiple different requests handled with slightly different urls and was trying to do it the same way you would do in python => r = request.get("url") and you got then handle the object r. now when i try to do that in godot it just returns r = 0.

The HTTPRequest request() method only returns an error code (0 means no error). ~~As far as I know, the only way of getting the response for the request is to connect the "request_completed" signal to a signal handler method.~~

The signal handler for the "request_completed" signal has this signature:

func _http_request_completed(result: int, response_code: int,
	headers: PoolStringArray, body: PoolByteArray) -> void:

The method name is whatever you specified as the third parameter in connect().

Correction to my previous post:

Instead of connecting a signal to a handler, you can use yield() after calling get().

Example:

# This is an alternative to using a signal handler.
var response: Array = yield(request, "request_completed")
print_debug("response=", response)
var s: String = response[3].get_string_from_ascii()
print_debug("s='%s'" % s)

In this example, the server is returning a simple string. "request" is the variable containing a reference to the HTTPRequest object, as in your post.
