WWW and Web Player

Questions & Answers
1

Currently I'm having problems getting this working in the Web Player. Please note this is working on the windows build. Does the WWW function work with the Web Player?

Also, putting this line of code in a c# script

string url = "http://www.google.com";
WWW www = new WWW(url);

while (!www.isDone) {}  // --- I don't think this ever returns because it locks my browser.

How can I do a web request in a browser?

thanks, stringa

use the example posted here: http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/WWW.html

// Get the latest webcam shot from outside "Friday's" in Times Square
var url = "http://images.earthcam.com/ec_metros/ourcams/fridays.jpg";
function Start () {
     // Start a download of the given URL
    var www : WWW = new WWW (url);

    // Wait for download to complete
    yield www;

    // assign texture
    renderer.material.mainTexture = www.texture; 
}

"You should not write loops that spin until download is done".

I found the Coroutine code elsewhere in the Answers.

You require a specific file on the remote server to allow WWW requests to operate in a web player - please see this explanation about the issue: https://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/SecuritySandbox.html
