Hi!
I’m trying to make a script that does the following:
- A user inputs a ‘password’ in a textbox.
- Once enter is pressed, RemoteEvent fires to save the input.
- A serverscript executes a HTTP request to a site which encrypts the input from the textbox to base64.
- The serverscript takes the body of the response (base64) for an authentication header.
I currently have the following LocalScript:
local HTTPService = game:GetService("HttpService")
script.Parent.FocusLost:Connect(function(enterPressed, inputThatCausedFocusLost)
if enterPressed then
local input = script.Parent.Text
wait()
game.ReplicatedStorage.AuthEvent:FireServer(input)
end
end)
It waits for the user to press enter and fires a RemoteEvent to save the input.
I have the following Server script:
local HTTPService = game:GetService("HttpService")
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("AuthEvent").OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, input)
print("INPUT: " .. tostring(input) )
local yees = HTTPService:RequestAsync({
Url = "REDACTED URL",
Method = "POST",
Headers = {
["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
},
Body = tostring(input) --the input from gui
})
print("-")
for _, v in pairs(yees) do
if typeof(v) ~= "table" then
print(" " .. tostring(v))
else
for _, v in pairs(v) do
if typeof(v) ~= "table" then
print(" " .. tostring(v))
end
end
end
end
print("-")
if yees.Body == "" then
print("BODY is nil.. how did this happen?")
else
print("BODY: " .. yees.Body) --debug
end
local encryptedSelfScpf = HTTPService:RequestAsync({
Url = "REDACTED URL",
Method = "GET",
Headers = {
["Content-Type"] = "application/json",
["Authorization"] = "Basic "..yees.Body
},
})
print("OUTPUT: " .. encryptedSelfScpf.Body)
end)
No matter the input, yees.Body is always nil, which results in an ‘Unauthorized Access’ response. I’ve tried some things, but to no avail. Any help is appreciated. If this is impossible, is there any alternative way? Thanks in advance.
