The SWebService class allows you to contact servers you control via HTTP[S] and GET or POST data strings.
To prevent Space users from unintentionally becoming part of a DDoS botnet, the Space client will first check for a file on a domain before allowing communications with the domain. If this file cannot be found, it will no longer communicate with that domain until the user logs.
To setup your server for communication with space, in the root of your domain, on the port you are using, place a file named 'sinewave.space.scripting.txt' containing 'SPACE_OK'. E.g. http://somewhere.com/sinewave.space.scripting.txt - if this file is not present, you will be unable to use scripting to communicate with the domain. Note: you should use HTTPS for all API calls if you want these to work reliably in WebGL. You may also need to implement a CORS policy in your webserver headers.
Performs a HTTP[S] GET against URL and returns the contents as a SWebResponse
local value2 = "SomeValue2"
local sentData = "http://www.someplace.net/someScript.php?variable1=" .. value1 .. "&variable2=" .. value2
local response = function(data)
Space.Log(data.Response)
end
webService.Get(sentData, response)
Performs a HTTP[S] POST against URL using data as a post string and returns the contents as a SWebResponse
local value2 = "SomeValue2"
local url = "http://www.someplace.net/someScript.php"
local sentData = "variable1=" .. value1 .. "&variable2=" .. value2
local response = function(data)
Space.Log(data.Response)
end
webService.Post(url, sentData, response)
Returns a valid SResource for a image on a remote domain that can be used via e.g. Scripting/SMaterial. While the image loads, it will be a white pixel that will be substituted with the real image once loaded.
-- PresenterCube is a cube object attached to the script in Object References
local presenter = Space.Host.GetReference("PresenterCube")
local meshRenderer = presenter.MeshRenderer
local webImage = webService.GetImage("http://someplace.net/someImage.png")
meshRenderer.material.SetTexture("_MainTex", webImage)
