HTTP Request failing

Development Programming & Scripting C++

HI. I was following the following post: Best way to perform a http request? - Documentation Feedback - Unreal Engine Forums

IHttpRequest::ProcessRequest() is returning false. This signifies that the request is not being processed. Here is the chunk of code I am using:

FSagRequest CurrentRequest;
CurrentRequest.AddURLPair(param, value);
FString Dest;
Dest.Equals(“insertGameStats.php”);
CurrentRequest.SetDestination(Dest);

TSharedRef< IHttpRequest > Request = FHttpModule::Get().CreateRequest();
Request->SetVerb(“POST”);
Request->SetURL(TargetHost + CurrentRequest.TheDest); //target=“localhost”
Request->SetContentAsString(CurrentRequest.TheData);

Request-&gt;SetHeader("User-Agent", "XYZClient/1.0");
Request-&gt;SetHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

Request-&gt;OnProcessRequestComplete().BindUObject(this, &AHTTPHandlerActor::OnResponseReceived);
if (!Request-&gt;ProcessRequest())
{
	//ASagittarius::LogError("Unable to process HTTP Request!");
	FString TestStringToBreak;
	TestStringToBreak.Equals("dfsf");
}

The code breaks at the last line, which means that the request failed. This in turn calls void AHTTPHandlerActor::OnResponseReceived(FHttpRequestPtr Request, FHttpResponsePtr Response, bool bWasSuccessful) , with Response==null

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think the order of the writing instructions was wrong. This is what solved it:

TSharedRef&lt;IHttpRequest&gt; Request = FHttpModule::Get().CreateRequest();
Request-&gt;SetHeader(TEXT("Content-Type"), TEXT("application/json"));
Request-&gt;SetURL(TEXT("http://127.0.0.1/insertGameStats.php"));
Request-&gt;SetVerb(TEXT("POST"));
Request-&gt;SetContentAsString(CurrentRequest.TheData);

Request-&gt;OnProcessRequestComplete().BindUObject(this, &AHTTPHandlerActor::OnResponseReceived);

But, I am receiving null value at my php side. Here is how I set data:

  CurrentRequest.AddURLPair(param, value);
  void AddURLPair(FString param, FString value)
{
	TheData += (delim + param + "=" + value);
	delim = "&";
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated
