I have some http code that sends PUT commands via some PHP code that works on PC but not on iOS or Mac.

I've logged the url to a file in my PHP at the start to show what data is coming in from the URL and it doesn't even connect on Mac or iOS if there are spaces or quotes in the URL. I literally had to encode quotes as an asterisk and then convert all asterisks back to quotes in the PHP code to get it to work. It's very strange.

So for this code:


the adin function puts quotes around the string. In this format the string doesn't send, but if I change the adin function to add '*' in place of quotes the url will send to my PHP code.

This is still giving me issues.

It appears that the characters are not being escaped properly on iOS/Mac. I've had to make the php code jump through hoops to get this working. It would be awesome if we could get better http commands, maybe adding in a curl library. It would certainly make it easier to interface with 3rd party solutions.

iOS and Mac are a lot more strict about the URLs they will accept, you should URL Encode anything that is a special character. In this case use %20 for space, %27 for single quotes and %22 for double quotes. PHP should automatically convert them back to the proper values, if not you can use the PHP function urldecode on any parameters that are still encoded. AppGameKit also includes the commands HTTPEncode and HTTPDecode that do the same thing.

Thanks, that helps a lot.

It might be a good idea to move those commands out of the misc. section of the help and put them with the other HTTP help commands. I didn't even know they existed.
