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

@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?

Yes, sure:

  Example Payload:

{
  "email": "user@example.com",

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!

Do you even have the required server-side code installed on your server?

[guangcoder]

@LindonAt the moments, i just test om local server, then test request by Postman, it work!```

 {
    "email": "abcd@outlook.com",
    "productKey": "abcd-1234",
}

Here is the form that i tested, it responded success! However, on Hise not work, it may have some restriction with constant or I need learn more document for understanding its working method.

[d.healey]

@guangcoder In HISE try writing the data directly into the payload, instead of using variables, and see if that works.

[guangcoder]

@d-healey Thanks Bro for suggestion, This problem may need more research. Ah, Could you please, give a instant about this constant:

Server.setBaseURL("http://hise.audio");

const var p = 
{
    "first_argument": 9000
};

// This dummy file just returns the `first_argument` as `post_argument`...
Server.callWithPOST("post_test.php", p, function(status, response)
{
    Console.print(response.post_argument);
});

I read documents but not really understand! Thank you!

Server.setBaseURL("http://hise.audio");

This needs to be your server URL.
