[RESOLVED] Unsupported URL error

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

I’m trying to get a very simple file to run to load some JSON formatted data from a URL, but for some reason, I can’t get it to run on the Corona Simulator.  The URL is valid and works fine when I enter it into a browser.

When I run the code below, I get the following error:

“ERROR: Error during request, code: -1002, details: unsupported URL”

local json = require "json" local dataURL = "http://masteringcoronasdk.com/bizapp/latest.php" local function newDataListener( event )     --Check for a connection     if ( event.isError ) then         print("Error - no connection")     else         local t = event.response         t = json.decode(t) -- will create a table          if #t \> 0 then             print("Number of records: " .. tostring(#t))         else             print("No new records found.")         end     end end network.request("dataURL", "GET", newDataListener)

Can anyone point me in the right direction here as to what I’m doing wrong?

In your last line, you put dataURL in quotes, which means network.request() is trying to go to a URL that’s literally called “dataURL”.  (It’s as if you typed “dataURL” into your browser.)  Just remove the quotes, and you should be OK.

Thanks Andrew, that was the problem.
