Does Love2D support SSL/https requests?

[Gunroar:Cannon()]

I wanted to do a mini-project for my CS class, and was finally doing a dreamlo (online scoreboard) implementation and successfully integrated it until I found out that Android 10 above (android being the target for my project) doesn't support opening http (non-secured?) sites.

And dreamlo uses http. So I want to find another online scoreboard API that can add and remove scores, but for now...

I heard a while back that SSL isn't supported on love2D, but I think I saw somewhere on the forums that that problem was fixed. Is this the case?

Hey!

You could do it in a very unusual but simple way.

When the game is over and you have the score, open a web link with “love.system.openURL”

I use this when an error occurs. I open a Love2D window and ask if the error message should be sent, and if so, the browser is opened with “love.system.openURL”.

This sends the data to Google Forms

You can call up any URL, for example a rest service somewhere on the web. Encode your data (score + name) in the URL.

Here is my error form url example:

Code: Select all

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/{FORM_ID}/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.1231186349='.. os.date('%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S', os.time()) .. '&entry.192709716='.. errormessage .. '&entry.2144508734=' .. base64message

The cool thing is that Google Forms puts all this into a spreadsheet and sends you an email when someone submits a new bug. You can also connect other Google services to the analysis.
You don't have to deal with SSL/updates/certificates aso.

But there are many other free Rest DB services out there!

Hope this helps.

love 12 provides lua-https. love 11 doesn't provide it itself but you can get or make a standalone build of it.

I had the same experience as yourself 6 months ago:

(Please note, for anyone looking, Lootlocker is a good alternative for https score keeper to dreamlo, though more complicated)

Ha, that's a cool workaround. but I need the score to be able to change in game, and I also need json data for multiple scores to display the leaderboard in game.

love 12 provides lua-https. love 11 doesn't provide it itself but you can get or make a standalone build of it.

Ooh, that's nice. But it's not out yet, no?

The link is bad.

Ha, yeah, it's better suited for bugreports.

You can grab a nightly build of love 12, or download or build the standalone lua-https library if you want to use love 11 with it.

Maybe I'll make a seperate topic for this later but also, on a side note, does anyone know if it's possible to compile projects online, using something like TravisCI?

Thank you, I was about to ask where to get a nightly build for android, but then I also saw something you said on Reddit (and also togFox's/zorg's link) and getting an apk from here should do it right?

Can someone please help me get the download link for the android versions. The artifacts link doesn't click no matter which browser I use.
