Post data to API

Hi,

I am tried to communicate between xojo app with web app through API.
is it possible to do it in linuxmint by using linux terminal ?

it would be great if there are some samples to be follow.

You can communicate from the Desktop app with a URLConnection to your Web App.
The Web App would receive the message via the HandleURL event.

Example Projects/Web/WebService-HandleURL.xojo_binary_project shows how to capture things in the HandleURL event.

Example Projects/Communication/Internet/URLConnection/ has examples for using URLConnection.

However, this thread:

Huge memory leak over time on deployed stand alone

This same happens with an empty project (web2.0) where some url would be called like http://mydomain.com/test (multiple times) In app handleurl there is nothing to handle this nor is a webpage or session called ever. It still leaks memory this way. Meaning that it’s probably internally before App.HandleURL and not user code, since none was added. Here is a FB case about this: <https://xojo.com/issue/63378>

You can create a RAM drive and use FolderItems in your app to write and read it. But this won’t scale across machines.

Example Projects/Communication/Internet/URLConnection/

yes, this kind of method that I am looking for.
I will try to play with this example.

What if the data is in JSON format, is it still possible to do it in xojo ?

thanks
