Forum ‹ C# ‹ Support for Connecting to outside Server?

[mulatto401]

Hi,

I have a server that handles all my users data for use on websites and in flash games. I was wondering if any support is being considered for that. I know there is a DB we can use, but it is limited to being accessed through the PlayerIO API and does not allow 3rd party access to that data.

I tried making my own solution in C# but you guy have stopped that with 'non-allowed method" errors.

Is there any solution in the works for this?

Thanks
Chris

Hi,

A common request is to be able to make webrequests to third-party webservers; It's not scheduled yet, but it seems to be a very common request, so perhaps we should bump it up.

Is that what you'd like?

I would like to see this feature added as soon as possible. Because of the current state of PlayerIO I cannot use this service for my company because all of the social networking data is on other servers. We would love to use PlayerIO for just the multiplayer aspect of our games and have it speak to our servers to send data back and forth.

Thank You for considering.

Hey,

I'll make you a deal: If you buy a license now (just a Plus one), i'll get the feature pushed to the front of the queue so it'll be ready in 1-2 weeks.

What do you say ?

I would take your deal, but your credit card processing keeps giving me an "Unknown error" Under the credit card number field. I tried 2 different cards.

[Oliver]

Hey,

That's... bad! We're on it! What kind of card is it?

We had it tested and everything before release (and I've even bought a subscription personally even though i don't develop flash games myself just to test it out).

I used a Visa, I tried it in Firefox and in IE and still got the unknown error. I tried about 7 times

[Oliver]

Okay. Thanks. We're looking into it.

Best,
Oliver

There, it should be fixed now. We accidentally released an old version of a file, and that caused the error.

So, please try again now!

[mulatto401]

Alright, all upgraded! Now I'll be waiting for your side of the deal

Hi Oliver,

I just bought a PlayerIO subscription in the hopes that a Unity enabled version (C# API) will hopefully get some love and be available soonish.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance in testing code for you.

Cheers,

We actually have a .net version that we're getting ready to release... I have no idea if it works with unity though, but i'd love to give it a try.

Is it easiest that i send you a beta version?

Hi Oliver,

I've emailed you my details. Let me know when you are ready.

Hey mulatto401, ETA is early next week for the feature.

It's going to allow your code to make web requests to external servers.

- Oliver

[mulatto401]

can't wait to see it in action

[Oliver]

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that we've launched the support for doing web requests to other servers. You get both Get and POST requsts, and you can either process the response as a stream or just plain text.

I take it the bandwidth used by doing so is also added to our monthly usage?
