[BUG-216386] http://secondlife.com/httprequest/homepage.php returning error 499 from in world script calls

[sl-service-account]

Steps to Reproduce

llHTTPRequest("http://secondlife.com/httprequest/homepage.php", [], "").
Use the example script at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Talk:LlGetWorldPopulation with an llOwnerSay on the returned error status.

Actual Behavior

llHTTPRequest("http://secondlife.com/httprequest/homepage.php", [], "") no longer returns data - just error 499.
I use these calls in a one of my commercial products which has been on the market for several years but has recently stopped working. I have had a number of customer complaints so it appears grid wide.
I have tested the bug using the example script in the wiki (http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Talk:LlGetWorldPopulation) to confirm that it too is failing. Web browsers will open the page without issues.
This bug was reported on the 27th May by Janet Rossini (BUG-216346) but incorrectly closed by Support - it is not related to 'redirects' or similar.

Expected Behavior

I was expecting to retrieve something like:
signups_updated_slt 2018-06-02 22:55:01 signups_updated_unix 1528005301 signups 54655752 exchange_rate_updated_slt 2018-06-02 22:57:07 exchange_rate_updated_unix 1528005427 exchange_rate 251.7189 inworld_updated_unix 1528005301 inworld_updated_slt 2018-06-02 22:55:01 inworld 37697

Other information

According to "http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Http_response" a 499 is either a timeout, a space in the address or an SSL failure. Since the response error is instantaneous and there are no spaces in my call it has to be an SSL failure.

Hiya Muroc,

This bug was reported on the 27th May by Janet Rossini (BUG-216346) but incorrectly closed by Support - it is not related to 'redirects' or similar.

I don't understand why you think BUG-216346 was incorrectly closed as a duplicate of BUG-216320.
BUG-216320 reports "llHTTPRequest("http://secondlife.com/httprequest/homepage.php", [], "") returns an empty body and http status 499" which is exactly the same as reported in BUG-216346

Hi Whirly,

I seem to be suffering a particularly bad case of foot-in-mouth disease. That'll teach me to not take others comments at face value - I stand corrected! You are, of course, correct - many apologies.

Well it is a bug but this is a duplicate of BUG-216320.
