Http Request with IP address and port

[#1]

hi,

I tried to use the script below to access Mysql data but failed.

Names Default To Here( 1 );
request =
New HTTP Request(
	url( "117.186.159.54:2010" ),
	Method( "Get" ),
	Username( "ross" ),
	Password( "Abc123" ),

);
data = request << Send;

The url/username/password are all dummy just for demonstration.

But it always says that connection refused. I can make sure that the ip+port is available.

Could I use ip+port as url? Is the syntax valid? Since the client provide me with this kind of IP address/port/username/passcode.

Does the address:port work from a browser? I think what you are trying is reasonable.

no, it won't work on browser. It refuses connection.

If the software at port 2010 isn't a http web server of some sort, I don't think JMP's http request is the right answer.

If you are trying to connect to the mysql server port (typically 3306) you'll want to use a mysql driver.

SQL for Cord-Cuttershas an example if you are trying to connect to a mysql database.
