Reproduction Steps
Send many HttpService requests to localhost while in a Team Create.
Actual code used:
local get = HttpService:GetAsync("http://localhost:" .. getPort(), false, {Type = "Modified"})
Expected Behavior
HttpService requests to localhost shouldn’t be throttling.
Actual Behavior
Issue Area: Studio
Issue Type: Other
Impact: Moderate
Frequency: Constantly
This is intentional behaviour.
“Roblox game server”
Either this is a bug, or a documentation error, but it would be pretty cool if localhost didn’t have any rate limits.
Edit: @SomeFedoraGuy pointed out this was in a Team Create session, which is actually run on Roblox servers. Sorry guys!
“Roblox game server ” just refers to any roblox server. The 500/m limit applies to ALL http requests
AFAIK Team Create is an un-joinable live server, so if you try to repro in a place with TC off it shouldn’t happen.
Requests to localhost still work while in a Team Create meaning the requests originate from your own PC. They shouldn’t be rate limited.
Where are you running these requests? If these were via an in-game script, then it is running on the team create server. The only ones that should be running on your client are plugins and possibly the command bar.
Thanks for reporting! We’ll follow up when we have an update for you.
Hi - this is the expected behavior. HttpService requests are all firing from the server side. And such requests will be throttled. Currently there isn’t a special handling case for localhost requests.
And we agree the throttling limit should not apply to requests made from studio plugins, we are working on a fix now and will update here.
