Help me understand Server.callWithPOST

@guangcoder test with hoppscotch to make sure it's not a mistake in the request

@d-healey Thanks Bro for suggestion. Hise seem send text or something different, because server i tested on postman it work. But when try with Hise, it's always report "Status : 400", on server only receive: Empty Body: {}

@guangcoder Your normalise function seems a bit janky. Just use myString = myString.replace(" "); and that will remove all spaces.

[guangcoder]

@d-healey I tried this, but it doesn't work:

inline function normalizeString(input) {
    normalizedResult = normalizedResult.replace(" "); 
    local i = 0;
    while (i < input.length) {
        local char = input.substring(i, i + 1);
        if (char != " " && char != "\t" && char != "\n") {
            normalizedResult = normalizedResult.replace + char;
        }
        i = i + 1;
    }
    return normalizedResult;
}

@guangcoder You can delete your normalise function entirely, you don't need it. Use the built in String.replace function.

@guangcoder

like this....

inline function verifyLicense() {
    // Normalize data from inputs
    local email = emailInput.get("text").replace(" ");
    local productKey = productKeyInput.get("text").replace(" ");

@d-healey From server, it responded:

Received Body:  {}
Received Body:  {}
Received Body:  {}
Received Body:  {}
Received Body:  {}
Received Body:  {}
Received Body:  {}

It mean server don't understand json which was request by Hise, i check console print on Hise, I saw form was sent something like this: "email": abcd@gmail.com, "productKey": "1234abc", but server don't understand, so, it responded "status: 400"

but server don't understand,

What is your endpoint expecting?

[guangcoder]

@Lindon Thanks Bro, I will try!

[guangcoder]

@d-healey endpoint is: "verify-license"

[Lindon]

@guangcoder said in Help me understand Server.callWithPOST:

@d-healey endpoint is: "verify-license"

and the API for this call is what?

[guangcoder]

@Lindon I test on local server: http://localhost:3000/

@guangcoder said in Help me understand Server.callWithPOST:

@d-healey endpoint is: "verify-license"

But what data is it expecting?

But what data is it expecting?

My perpose is create a simple protection through API system, ask users Login with email and product key, then click verify, on server.js it insert available nfo (input by users). If match, set unlock GUI from Hise

[d.healey]

@guangcoder But what data is the endpoint expecting you to send to it?

Here is the way i apply Server.callWithPOST

Server.callWithPOST("verify-license", payload, function(status, response) {
   
});

payload = email & product key

[d.healey]

@guangcoder Do you have some documentation for the end point you are calling that I can look at?

This looks like ChatGPT output? Do you have a link to the original documentation?

[guangcoder]

@d-healey That's right :)), I learn from anywhere, collect information and test, so i haven't got official document, just have the form of method, so contents need create and learn from professional users. For Hise coding, i learn a lot from you!
