How do they do that ....

English Scripts
1

Greetings scripting experts!

I am using the trying to send the following command (which works in a browser address bar) from within mAirList

      [b]http://1.2.3.4:1333/api/song/?artist=The Beatles&title=Yellow Submarine[/b]

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how is this achieved using a mAirList script?

Bonus points are awarded if the artist and title details are mAirList logging variables!

Many thanks

Ron.

Are you going to make this call every time a song is started in mAirList?

Then you don’t need a script. Use HTTP GET logging instead.

URL: http://1.2.3.4:1333/api/song/

Parameters (use cursor-down key to add lines):

artist: %a
title: %b

Thanks for the quick and successful reply. That does indeed work well to send the artist and title as each song starts (which is exactly what I asked for).

I thought the ‘song’ option would be the more tricky which is why I asked about that but there are other commands which I would like to send to control other functions which would be best performed in a script.

Another example is http://1.2.3.4:1333/api/flash/1?text=Message goes here

The common element is http://1.2.3.4:1333/api/ but the suffix can change so I suppose the revised question is how do you make that sort of HTTP GET command through scripting?
