[newbie] LanguageTool client

[joahim]

Dear PB Users,

I'd like to create a PB application that would use a LanguageTool - application for checking grammar and punctuation rules.

LanguageTool works as a server - when you send for example:

http://localhost:8081/?language=xx&text=my+text

you receive a XML response:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<matches>
<error fromy="0" fromx="0" toy="0" tox="5"
  ruleId="UPPERCASE_SENTENCE_START"
  msg="This sentence does not start with an uppercase letter"
  replacements="This" context="this is a test."
  contextoffset="0"
  errorlength="4"/>
</matches>

What kind of connection should I create?
Which command should I use to send a message to this kind of HTTP server and receive the response?

Best regards,

joahim

Sounds like that would mean your app could only deliver grammar and punctuation if your User was online? That seems an unnecessary restriction, I think your potential customers may choose a rival that did not have that issue.

Hi Joahim,

you can use SendNetworkString() and ReceiveNetworkData()
