how do I send an http request to my script from browser or command line(curl). Since I'm using pro my script will be running nonstop; I want to be able to send some commands from browser which will trigger certain functions to make a POST request. thanks  |

You can use a server or a cloud drive file to make it real.
For a server, send the http request to the server.
Then the script check the data on the server by another http request.
It's almost the same for a cloud drive file.
Just modify or update the cloud drive directly, instead of the http request.

I'm lost. thanks Here is a example of drive box. 1. Have a file on the drop box called version.lua latestVersion = "1.3.4"2. Get the link to dropbox. Modify and make sure the link ends with "?dl=1" 3. Try following script versionString = httpGet("https://www.dropbox.com/s/9g9ihn0uko97cah/version.lua?dl=1")
print (versionString)
f = loadstring(versionString)
f()
print (latestVersion )

I get the concept now but I still have a question. So with this approach the script has to check for the data on seconds basis or only once? Cos the goal is to respond to a change or update in the cloud file whilst the script is already running- how do I achieve that please?? |

As how long to check the the data, it's up to you. |

OK. so how can I check it synchronously whilst the script performs other foreground tasks. For instance, the script will be doing some clicks whilst it checks the data simultaneously at the background...thanks

You can do it if you know that the script is just waiting some event to happen. For example, waits the auto battle to end. |
