[Opensim-users] llOpenRemoteDataChannel

[Clive Gould]

I need to use XML-RPC as I have tried the alternative approach using
llRequestURL() and llHTTPResponse, which does not yet work in OpenSim.

The URL generated by the function llRequestURL() is not externally
accessible as it does not contain the complete hostname of the server
i.e. AviScan: URL:
http://standbyvle:9000/lslhttp/0f4308ef-5bda-4067-99aa-8139a8729cda/

To work the URL would need to contain standbyvle.bromley.ac.uk:9000 etc

Also I gather from Mantis there is a severe OpenSim bug associated
with the llHTTPResponse function at the moment.

Does anyone have a working OpenSim XML-RPC LSL script & server side
PHP script they could let me have to try???

Thanks very much

Clive
