I have a problem, my json object does have the good format, but on my $_POST (yes in php) i don't have params which is arrays.
Is any problem with passing arrays ?

[EDIT] I found a solution : encode as json string my object containing array then pass it to a string field of the request object. And on the server side, do a json_decode and assign the return value to $_POST

Yes, it's a deprecated field now. For valid responses use ResponseObj->Decode

So what happened to all the PARSE nodes for blueprints?
I can't seem to do anything related to Auth or PARSE.
Trying to learn these systems and not sure how to implement what I need now in UE 4.17.2

I have a huge problem with tokens and the request header.
After a successful login my server returns a valid token for future authorization.
For authorization I set a header "Authorization" and give it the token as value.

When I copy the token and pass it as a "Make Literal" String everything works finde, but when I store the token in a String variable and pass it as the header value the token is invalid.
On the server the token seems to be OK but cannot be decoded correctly.

Any ideas?

UPD: resolved. Fixed in source code.

I'm trying to use VaRest to fetch a JSON object from a webAPI. I see the JSON data show up in the console log, but I can't figure out how to get the data into something I can use in blueprints. The simple GET example on the github site doesn't seem to call the event handler. Is there a clear simple example, of doing a GET request and getting the resulting JSON data into something useful?

HI,
Trying to work out how to use VaRest to create a POST request that needs to send username and password, to retrieve a JSON encoded list of data for a user from the server. Generally (using code) I would construct the post request like this:
Request->SetHeader(TEXT("username"), "usernameString");
Request->SetHeader(TEXT("password"), "passwordString");
BUT cannot work out how, using Blueprints, to construct the request. Can anyone help? The VaRest documentation - i.e. the github wiki - isn't exactly helpful. Help much appreciated.

Hi DoctorMikeReddy, Work for you do "Construct Json Request"?
Here an example.

Same problem here, any help would be much appreciated as I'm going bald pulling my hair out

Is this Plug in still active ?

I'm having trouble packaging a project to Linux, where the output log blames the VaREST plugin for not having a Linux binary. Indeed, VaRestPlugin\Binaries has Android, HTML5, IOS, Mac, TVOS, Win32, and Win64, but no Linux.

I'm running on binary UE4.18.3 on Windows 10

EDIT: I went ahead and used the source built version of Unreal to package to Linux. However, it would be much better if we could package to Linux from the binary version of Unreal =).

Hi, please is there a way of knowing when the Apply URL node failed? Because when it fails it does not go to the next node and the OnRequestFail and OnRequestComplete binds do not work with Apply URL. I just get the error messages in LOG when it fails. So is there a way of knowing that the Apply URL node failed?

Apparently, it will be somewhere in this thread, but where can I find C++ documentation, please?
