end
[/lua]

function contentandsize(contents, size)
print("File is "..size..",\n"..contents)
end[/lua]

Fixed and [b]probably[/b] won't make a difference.

[gorgorp]

well it doesnt really work, i have been looking at the wiki and stuff, but what ever i try, it just wont work. i can only gte it to execute when http.Get is outside a function

[gorgorp]

well, i have tied everything now. i guess its kinda impossible

[Skapocalypse]

It's not impossible. I use http.Get in a function. Here's a snippet

function RefreshList()
SongList = {}
	MusicWindow:Clear()
	MenuText:SetText("Refreshing...")
	MusicWindow:AddLine("Refreshing List...")
		http.Get("http://www.decrepitgaming.com/", "", function(Content)
			for k,v in pairs(string.Explode("\n", Content)) do
				local TempTable = {v}
                        end
	end)
end

Of course that right there wont work because I took out code. However, it works perfectly in a function. Not sure what you're doing wrong. Try getting a file from outside your localhost.

[gorgorp]

it doesnt matter about its outside localhost or inside, anyway thanks for your post, ill check if that works.

[editline]06:31PM[/editline]

doesnt work, i found a error though, i dont know how to fix, but its like this...

[lua]
function RefreshList()
print("Started")
http.Get("http://www.decrepitgaming.com/", "", function(Content)
print("I am In the Http connection function")
end)
print("Finnished")
end
concommand.Add("testing", RefreshList)
[/lua]
and yes the link works...
well as you see it should print...

started
I am In the Http connection function
finished

but it does only print

started
finished

i could really need some help with this

[Skapocalypse]

The only other thing I can think of is calling RefreshList in a seperate function. I don't call it directly from concommand.

[gorgorp]

ill try that

That works just perfect, really thanks for your help.
