http() function isn't working

Sean on what format mac - ipad or web vcloud version

and i will take a look (i'm cloud version)

What error message do you get? "Server not responding"?

I have a function that grabs genders using the genderize.io free api. It works fine for me.

""" // Assigns gender to all unassigned People """;
function genderize() do
let urlbase := "https://api.genderize.io?name=";
let cands := (select People)[Gender != 1 and Gender != 2];
for c in cands do
let first := extractx(c.Name, "[a-zA-Z]*\b");
let response := http("GET", urlbase + first);
if response.error then
first + ": " + text(response.error)
else
first + ": " + text(response.result);
let g := response.result.gender;
if g = "male" then c.(Gender := 1) else c.(Gender := 2) end
end
end
end;

That thread link just gets me to a 504 Gateway Time-Out error page...

I got the same Error response using the code snippet you pasted... but wrapping the http() request in do as server <function> end did the trick for me.

let rt := html("");
let response := do as server 

http("GET", Text)

end;
if response.error then
rt := html("<h1>Error</h1><p>" + text(response.error) + "</p>");
else
rt := html(response.result)
end;
rt

Oh right. I'm on the Cloud version. 

Good luck, hope support helps!

I think gold standard for responsiveness to the community has to be Coda right now; which is a shame because the Ninox product is so powerful. Wit's the right support, documentation (please, hire / contract with a professional technical writer!!) and partner ecosystem - and access and privilege management - Ninox could absolutely sweep the SME market... such an opportunity. 

Common Ninox - we love you. Tell us what you're working on!!

and get a better forum platform, one that filters out the voodoo spam. :)

@Sean,

Have you looked in the console?

I also have also blocked requests due to > CORS-header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ may not be *

Any Solution?

Sean, Can't tell as this is a new created API call I try (carbone.io) I've installed a plugin(CORS Everywhere) in Firefox and now I don't have connect errors.

But I'm still struggeling to get the wanted result with this carbone thing.... To be continued.....

To be complete, on my Macbook with the native app, it also won't work.
