Author Topic: HTTP GET/POST/... call (Read 1137 times)

Hello !

Is there any way i can call an HTTP service as an action ?
I have a local server running in the background that manages many things, it exposes an HTTP api that I'd like to call from voiceattack to run custom stuff.

So far i couldn't find any way but writting on a text file, watching that text file from my server and read its content.
But the file watcher sometimes takes 1-2 seconds before detecting the change which i find annoying.
Calling my HTTP service directly from VoiceAttack would make things much smoother.

Did i miss anything to do that in my searches ? (forum search being quite inefficient :s..)

Have a good day

The "Value from file/URI" option of the "Set a Text Value" action can perform a GET request for you.

For more advanced control and/or POST requests, you'd need to write a plugin or inline function to handle that.
