Server.setBaseURL

[TNTHM]

I am trying to set the URL for server communication. I thought I would be able to use it in the onInit of a Script FX module but it is giving an error saying Unknown function 'setBaseURL'. How can I use this function?

@TNTHM It's for use in midi processors. I don't think it will work in a script effect

@d-healey yup most of the UI related classes are not present in anything else than the Script MidiProcessor.

Is it possible to communicate with a server through the plugin? I have set up a server at http://localhost:3000 and I am trying to send data to it when a button on the GUI is clicked. In the code below, which is in the onInit of the Interface, 4 and 5 print but 6 does not. Is there a way to have the plugin communicate with a server?

inline function onButton1Control(number, value)
{
	Console.print("4");

   // if the button was clicked
    if (value == 1)
    {
	Console.print("5");

        // Send data to the server and wait for the response
        Server.callWithPOST("http://localhost:3000", data, function(status, response) {
            Console.print("6");
            
            // HTTP status 200 means the request was successful
            if (status == 200) 
            {
                // print a success message to the HISE console
                Console.print("Successfully sent data to the server");
            }
            else
            {
                Console.print("Error occurred while contacting the server: " + status);
            }
        });
    }
}

@TNTHM For testing with a local server you'll need to use the IP address. Have you declared data?

[TNTHM]

@d-healey I did declare data. And I confirmed that the server is running on port 3000 through terminal. When I replaced localhost with my computer's IP address it still does not print 6.

Content.makeFrontInterface(600, 600);

Console.print("1");
const var Button1 = Content.getComponent("Button1");
Console.print("2");
var data = {
    message: "Hello world!"
};
Console.print("3");
inline function onButton1Control(number, value)
{
	Console.print("4");

     // if the button was clicked
    if (value == 1) 
    {
	Console.print("5");

        // Send data to the server and wait for the response
        Server.callWithPOST("http://localhost:3000", data, function(status, response) {
            Console.print("6");
            if (status == 200) // HTTP status 200 means the request was successful
            {
                // print a success message to the HISE console
                Console.print("Successfully sent data to the server");
            }
            else
            {
                Console.print("Error occurred while contacting the server: " + status);
            }
        });
    }
}
Button1.setControlCallback(onButton1Control);

@TNTHM You haven't called Server.setBaseURL()

Check out all the server documentation - https://docs.hise.audio/scripting/scripting-api/server/index.html

@d-healey This was what I was missing. Thank you!
