Before anything else, I did search the forum for this issue, and tried several things. and none of them work :(

I'm running this code:

Import mojo

Import brl.httprequest

Class MyApp Extends App Implements IOnHttpRequestComplete

	Field get_req:HttpRequest,post_req:HttpRequest
	
	Method OnHttpRequestComplete:Void( req:HttpRequest )
	
		If req=get_req
			Print "Http GET complete!"
		Else
			Print "Http POST complete!"
		Endif

		Print "Status="+req.Status()
		Print "ResponseText="+req.ResponseText()
		
	End
	
	Method OnCreate()
		get_req=New HttpRequest( "GET","http://www.icongames.com.br/cweel/gethigh-win.php",Self )
		get_req.Send
		
		'post_req=New HttpRequest( "POST","http://www.icongames.com.br/cweel/gethigh-win.php",Self )
		'post_req.Send "Hello World!"
			
		SetUpdateRate 60
	End
	
	Method OnUpdate()

		If KeyHit( KEY_CLOSE ) Error ""

		UpdateAsyncEvents
	End

	Method OnRender()
	
		Cls
		
		DrawText "Http GET bytes received="+get_req.BytesReceived(),0,0
		'DrawText "Http POST bytes received="+post_req.BytesReceived(),0,12

	End	
End

Function Main()

	New MyApp

End

Which is the example in the docs, just commented out the POST and changed the URL. I even hosted it on the same domain I try to access: http://icongames.com.br/cweel/request.html

All I get is this:
Http GET complete!
Status=0
ResponseText=

Running the sample with GLFW it works and I get the response I hope.

Can someone please help me out? I really need this for a project I'm doing - and I can't believe this isn't working :(

Hmm... I use httprequest in my game and it works even for HTML5. It has to run exactly in the same folder as the php scripts I use, so I have this structure:

./script.php
./data
./main.js
./MonkeyGame.html

That way at least it works for me. Locally it doesn't (without a localhost server this is obviously the main reason)

A-Ha!

Now I've got it - the problem is I was using the full URL to GET/POST data. When I changed http://www.icongames.com.br/cweel/gethigh-win.php to just gethigh-win.php it works :)

Phew! I was really worried there for a sec! :)

Thanks Xaron, thanks to your comments I got this idea :D
