Issue: Any Rest API function will not work without RestCallback created.
I ran into an unusual problem when trying to get response data from GET request from my back-end server and from any other site/server. After several hours of debugging, I found solution to my problem, but as I understand it, this is a bug. Without creating callback (new RestCallback()), none of the Rest API functions work, even the _now functions that do not require a callback.
Here are two examples in which I am using my back-end server and the site http://checkip.amazonaws.com/ :
// My RestCallBack class for testing Rest Api
class TestCallBack : RestCallback
{
override void OnError( int errorCode )
{
Print("OnError");
};
override void OnTimeout()
{
Print("OnTimeout");
};
override void OnSuccess( string data, int dataSize )
{
Print("OnSuccess");
};
override void OnFileCreated( string fileName, int dataSize )
{
Print("OnFileCreated");
};
}// Rest Api Script Without created RestCallBack
void GetRestApiFunction()
{
string amazonContext = "http://checkip.amazonaws.com/";
string backEndContext = "http://localhost:5001/api/Database/";
RestContext m_apiAmazonRestContext = GetGame().GetRestApi().GetContext(amazonContext);
RestContext m_apiBackEndRestContext = GetGame().GetRestApi().GetContext(backEndContext);
// _now Requests
Print("checkip.amazonaws response: " + m_apiAmazonRestContext.GET_now(""));
Print("back-end server response: " + m_apiBackEndRestContext.GET_now("1"));
// GET Requests
m_apiAmazonRestContext.GET(new TestCallBack(), "");
m_apiBackEndRestContext.GET(new TestCallBack(), "1");
}
// Log Console:
SCRIPT : checkip.amazonaws response:
SCRIPT : back-end server response:
// My back-end server console log:

// Rest Api Script Without created RestCallBack
ref TestCallBack callback;
void GetRestApiFunction()
{
string amazonContext = "http://checkip.amazonaws.com/";
string backEndContext = "http://localhost:5001/api/Database/";
callback = new TestCallBack();
RestContext m_apiAmazonRestContext = GetGame().GetRestApi().GetContext(amazonContext);
RestContext m_apiBackEndRestContext = GetGame().GetRestApi().GetContext(backEndContext);
// _now Requests
Print("checkip.amazonaws response: " + m_apiAmazonRestContext.GET_now(""));
Print("back-end server response: " + m_apiBackEndRestContext.GET_now("1"));
// GET Requests
m_apiAmazonRestContext.GET(callback, "");
m_apiBackEndRestContext.GET(callback, "1");
}
// Log Console:
SCRIPT : checkip.amazonaws response: 123.456.789.123 // ofc its not my ip, but i got right response
SCRIPT : back-end server response: im alive?
SCRIPT : OnSuccess
SCRIPT : OnSuccess

INFO: GET REQUEST CAMEThe main problem is that _now functions don't work without a callback created, even if they don't use them / don't need them.
