when i do the url from a browser it works fine.. when i try from a device i get the following error
i have tried both http://127.0.0.1/local/file
and the actual ip..
any ideas thanks
How is it coded? are you using httpGet() or asynchttpGet()?
thanks neither here was old way that worked..
String repositoryText = "http://mail.lgk.com/ecowitt1.css".toURL().getText();
tried just replacing it with
String repositoryText = "http://127.0.0.1/local/ecowitt1.css".toURL().getText();
Google seems to say you would need to use asynhttpGet()
I use asynchttpGet() to call a Google Sheets script to delete data and clean up my logging sheets. I just log the response, but the callback method should get your data as well.
def getDelete(log) {
sendEvent(name: "lastCleaned", value: log)
def googleUri = device.currentValue("cleanUri") + "?" + log
googleUri = googleUri.replace(" ","%20")
logDebug("Clean Uri is: ${googleUri}")
def cleanParams = [
uri: googleUri,
requestContentType: 'application/json',
contentType: 'application/json',
headers: ['CustomHeader':'CustomHeaderValue'],
]
asynchttpGet('cleanCallbackMethod', cleanParams, [dataitem1: "datavalue1"])
}
def cleanCallbackMethod(response, data) {
logDebug("Log Cleaned: ${response}",3)
}
got it to work like this..just strange old one changed to 127.0.0.1/local should have worked the same
// String repositoryText = "http://mail.lgk.com/ecowitt1.css".toURL().getText();
def byte dBytes = downloadHubFile("ecowitt1.css")
def String repositoryText = new String(dBytes)
Ah, handy to know. That's pretty simple 
I didn't realize you were just pulling a css text file. What I posted would be for using some of the actual endpoints that return json data.

stil weird to me why the url works perfectly in a browser going to an external server. or local but with 127.0.0.1/local does not when in a device manager code base.
I think there’s a port 80 restriction on LocalHost (127.0.0.1).
A guess here: try 8080 or 8081?
