Sending HTTP PUT requests from LUA

[ziocan]

Hi there,

I am trying to write a small driver that allows me to call the LIFX smart bulbs API to activate/deactivate light scenes.

Unfortunately, the damn API wants to receive PUT requests.  In the driverworks documentation I only see support for GET and POST.

Does anybody know if there's a way to send a PUT request from LUA code in a driver? Maybe someone has some code to share? :-)

Other than invoking curl on the controller, of course...

 

Thanks in advance,

Rick

PUT is available.  Download the latest driverworks documentation from the dealer website.

Alternatively write your own HTTP requests thats what i do.

Thanks Alan, I'll check it out!

Thanks, this was easier than expected!

 

function ActivateScene (Scene)
   local http_headers = {}
   http_headers["Authorization"] = "Bearer " .. Properties["LIFX Cloud token"]
   URL = "https://api.lifx.com/v1/scenes/scene_id:" .. Scene .. "/activate"
   C4:urlPut(URL, "", http_headers)
end

Please Explain me?

BTW from the DriverWorks SDK 2.10.5:

The following APIs have been deprecated due to the introduction of the C4:url Interface:

urlGet()

urlPost()

urlPut()

urlDelete

urlCustom()
