[Plugin] Http/s REST, blueprintable JSON and Parse REST API manager at once (VaRest)

Xenogenik · December 26, 2014, 11:18am

Hi Minxies, I cannot verify iOS or HTML5, but I have just tested my project out on Android and confirm that it does work there.

Legend, I’ll try to commit once I have to skill set.

A belated Merry Christmas (if applicable

Best,

> If you’re using plugins and want to package them you must switch you project to “C++ game”.

So this is a pretty vital piece of information I was not aware of since this is the one and only plugin I’ve used. I couldn’t get this working for a week You should mention it on the github page.

Hi,
this plugin is awesome and thank you for developing it!
But I have a strange problem with Parse integration. It works on Windows but on Android no… Other JSON requests work good on Android… How can I resolve this problem?

Thank you.

anonymous_user_e281dc471 · January 10, 2015, 7:27pm

It seems to occur only when I do HTTPS request… For example works but doesn’t work… So Parse.com (because only support HTTPS) doesn’t work on Android…

anonymous_user_e281dc471 · January 11, 2015, 5:42am

I’ve resolved above issue by setting FCurlHttpManager::CurlRequestOptions.bVerifyPeer=false.

I’ve found another problem with VaRest Parse implementation… SetField on Android doesn’t work… For Example SetField limit=2…
It can be repair by commenting 65 line in VaRestRequestJSON.cpp:
//OutText = OutText.Replace(TEXT(“=”), TEXT(“%3D”));

It now works…

Thanks for bug reports, guys! I’ve added them to issues list and will check it soon.

Justin.Dooley · January 12, 2015, 10:48pm

Does this work with the 4.7 preview?

shiftone · January 15, 2015, 9:12am

So far i’m really liking the look of the plugin.

I had a go at installing on 4.7 preview 3 but couldn’t get it to run, so I switched back to 4.6 for now.

Edit: Seems to be working, server was playing up!

Thanks

SongOfDeath · January 16, 2015, 9:15pm

I’m having a problem with the plugin please help, when I create a user on parse.com, it gives the error 400 {Code 201: Missing user password} However I’m already setting the password field in the json request, please help how can I fix this issue

Edit: Fixed: VaRest nodes don’t work in UMG Blueprints, I didn’t think that for what 6 hours of trying? Whatever, this plugin is amazing, cheering for .

anonymous_user_e281dc471 · January 24, 2015, 8:11pm

How can I make request with “Construct Where Query”? I’ve create this node and on output is string… And where I should connect this value? “Set Field”? If yes with what “Field Name”?

Thank you,

anonymous_user_e281dc471 · January 25, 2015, 5:35pm

Hi ,
I’ve found bug.
When I call multiple times “Process URL” on the same JSON Request Object I receive error:

It’s probably because of 102 line in VaRestRequestJSON.cpp:


void UVaRestRequestJSON::ResetResponseData()
{
	if (ResponseJsonObj != NULL)
	{
		ResponseJsonObj->Reset();
	}
	else
	{
		ResponseJsonObj = (UVaRestJsonObject*)StaticConstructObject(UVaRestJsonObject::StaticClass());
	}

	bIsValidJsonResponse = false;
}

When I change this to:


void UVaRestRequestJSON::ResetResponseData()
{
	ResponseJsonObj = (UVaRestJsonObject*)StaticConstructObject(UVaRestJsonObject::StaticClass());

	bIsValidJsonResponse = false;
}

it works but I don’t know if this is correct…

, what do you think about that?

ufna · February 12, 2015, 3:01am

It should be used instead “regular” query constructor when you’re using Parse Object quering with “where” condition. That’s all the difference from regular one

Thanks for the bug report, I’ve put it here (https://github.com//VaRest/issues/21) and will check it soon.

Frisco · March 5, 2015, 9:39pm

So with this plugin i can sent GET requests to my server? Can i also get data from my server?

Hello , looking forward to the 4.7 version. Unfortunately, I cannot run the 4.6 version:(

sbnewsom · April 6, 2015, 9:10pm

Hey TechLord. You shouldn’t have to wait for an official 4.7 release. The current version, 1.1-rc7 runs just fine after you click “Rebuild” when the editor asks you to when you first launch after adding the plugin to your project folder.

Tarly · April 10, 2015, 7:49pm

HI , I have been working with Codespartan in his MMOKit, and I have a problem that he recommended I you over… It kinda resembles this quote… I have sent you a PM when you have time

qdelpeche · April 18, 2015, 1:55pm

@: Most of your examples are posting a “X Www Form Urlencoded” but I can’t find any using a JSON post. Do you have an example for me?

My web-service that I wrote requires a JSON object to be posted to it and not a Form. Do you have any examples for me?

This is an awesome plugin by the way and works right out of the box. Thanks. 8-}

EDIT: Never mind, got it working … thanks. 8-}

qdelpeche · April 18, 2015, 4:53pm

@: Didn’t want to do a seperate post, but I thought it prudent that I do so the post doesn’t get lost in the noise.

I am getting an Access violation on the code now when I try to re-trigger a call every 60 seconds.

I have tried this in various blueprints and even as a blueprint on the map … so I am not sure if I am missing something.
