So, I am trying to create a program that gets the http from http://www.tiny.cc/lolosver but i keep getting a "attempt to index ? (a nil value)"
anyone know how? Thanks if you can.

[Luanub]

Code? Hard to find whats wrong without it.


Read this... http://www.computerc...faster-read-me/

yeah we cant really help you if there is no code to look at (the only thing we can really do is tell u what the error means!?)

[Kolpa]

well what u can do is the following thing />

local file = http.get("http://www.tiny.cc/lolosver")
local ver = file:readAll()

the var ver shoud be all the webpage content />

but i dont know if tiny.cc is the problem />

[Mads]

You probably don't have the http API on. go to .minecraftconfigmod_ComputerCraft.cfg, and change "enableAPI_http=0" to "enableAPI_http=1"

[Justy]

Http API Enabled And What I Wanted Was A Explanation Of How It Works. Like Kolpa Did.
EDIT: @Kolpa Using That Code And Adding Only print(ver) I still get test:1:Attempt to index ? (a nil value)

[Kolpa]

well like i said try to not use the tiny.cc link use the real one so like this:

local file = http.get("http://dl.dropbox.com/u/50273341/version.http")
local ver = file:readAll()

or rename it to .html
