How can we use HTTP request with UIFlow 2.0?

kotobuki

Hi,

I'm trying to implement an HTTP client on AtomS3 Lite with UIFlow 2.0. I have implemented on ATOM LITE with UIFlow 1.0 as follows:

https://github.com/kotobuki/Toolkit-for-Collaborative-XR/blob/main/examples/uiflow/update_attribute_atom.png

My questions are as follows:

When should we use HTTP close, right after an HTTP request block or after handling a response?
What is equivalent to Get Data in UIFlow 1.0, get content or get text?

It would be much appreciated if you give me advice regarding this topic.

Thank you very much in advance,
Shigeru

Hi,

I found that the following code works as I expected. I want to share for your reference until official examples are provided.

Thanks,

Hi Shigeru,

Can you share how do you install the "urequests" module?

I downloaded from the link below and copied to libs/
https://github.com/m5stack/M5Stack_MicroPython/blob/master/MicroPython_BUILD/components/micropython/esp32/modules/urequests.py

but I got the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 105, in <module>
File "main.py", line 92, in loop
File "/flash/libs/urequests.py", line 112, in get
File "/flash/libs/urequests.py", line 97, in request
NotImplementedError: Redirects not yet supported

Thanks

Http close is used at the end to terminate HTTP request sessions.

I'm trying to work on logging and documenting the functions but its slow going.

Hi,

I am new, but I have been poking around since I experienced the urequests library not found error.

I REPL'd into my Core3,, and sure enough, it wasn't there, but there was one called requests.

I did some poker with the code in UiFlow and read many Google answers, but I managed to get it to work. I ended up with the HTTP request in a code block.

http_req = requests.request(
method='POST',
url='http://192.168.1.51/json/state',
headers={'Content-Type':'application/json'},
data='{"on":true,"bri":255, "v":true, "seg":{"fx":"r", "pal":"r"}}'
)
http_req.close()

It seemed to work for me, but I would prefer to get it working correctly.
