I <3 Second Life Gestures

Gestures are Awesome.

I am working on a chat app like many other apps in SL and was having the issue of user’s using wrong channel to comm with me.  So a friend did a little search and found one of those JRA posts requesting a feature that lets you set the channel you are chatting on and let it remain between requests.  In the posted responses, one inventive chap posted that making a simple Gesture like /? and hooking it to the channel you chat (/1234) on works nicely. (https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-1330)

1 drawback i’ve found is found in all of Second Life material, once its out you can’t update them easily.  So before I’m going to implement the gesture for real, I need to make my channel nearly hardcoded. (unless i can put some code in a gesture that lets it read a notecard or something, but i doubt it.) This is mega rambly at this point, but If you come across a similar problem, Gestures may save the day.

Wiki Fight

I was checking out the wiki at lslwiki.net and while reading the page for the llHTTPRequest and ran into a funny paragraph that reminded me of the PA Annoucements in Airplane.

"body specifies the body of the HTTP request and is only used when HTTP_METHOD is POST or PUT. The body is only limited to the amount of available free memory in the script (before the script has a stack/heap collision.) (As of 10/29/06 this seems to be limited to 2048 characters, and cuts off anything further – Seifert) (As of 22/08/07 this is no longer limited to 2048 characters. I was able to pass over 4096 characters with no cutoffs. – Zachary Carter)(AS of 20dec07 i can not have more than 2048 chars.. and HTTP_BODY_MAXLENGTH returns nothing, so how you did more Zachary ? – pierrehenri Beaumont) (March 19, 2008 [Server 1.19.1.81992 / Client 1.19.0 (5)]: I am able to send 14970 characters, ran out of memory when trying any higher. So it is limited to available memory as of this time. – Cory Fimicoloud) (November 5, 2008: Nope, tested and still limited to 2048. — Siann Beck)

11/11/08: I strongly suspect that one half of you above are talking about the 2k limit on the http response, and the other half are talking about the memory only limit on the http request+body, am I right? – DeFarge” (originally post at http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llHTTPRequest)

Thought it was amusing.
