Access WWW.text on Error

I am using WWW to make REST API requests. When certain requests fail, they return a 4xx status code but also return a JSON content body with detailed error information. This information is vital, but when I try to access the content through WWW.text or WWW.bytes I get:

You are trying to load data from a www stream which had the following error when downloading.
400 Bad Request

I have checked the request in a web browser and yes, its returning a 4xx error, but its still also returning the JSON data with more info. Is there any way to get at this info and I need it to work on iOS too. I know there are 3rd party WWW replacements like UniWeb but hoping to not need that for various reasons.

Thanks!

 

Exact same problem here. It seems like a bug to me.

 

+1 here...

When doing this request for example :
https://graph.facebook.com/my_fb_id/apprequests?access_token=whatever_you_put_here

I have a 400 error but if I use something else like UniWeb, I go the correct webpage that is sent back, that is :

Code (csharp):

1. {
2.    "error": {
3.       "message": "Invalid OAuth access token.",
4.       "type": "OAuthException",
5.       "code": 190
6.    }
7. }

 

FYI, I have opened a discussion about this and other issues regarding the WWW class in Unity Beta group, and it sounds like they are planning to eventually address them all at some point. The issue thus far has been offering feature consistency to WebPlayer builds because of limitations with NPAPI.

 

Any word on this since July? Trying to deal with AWS via HTTP requests and I'm bad enough with that stuff even without missing info I need to help me figure out what I'm doing :/

 

Any progress on this? Or whats the standard workaround? Its really really annoying!

 

Anyone know if Unity 5 finally has a proper WWW class?

 

I have recently had this problem. I'm going to try the BestHTTP plugin from the Asset Store. One of the reviews indicates it allows access to return values even on errors.

 

This is ridiculous. The specification clearly says "the server should include an entity containing an explanation of the error situation, and whether it is a temporary or permanent condition", and yet there's no way for the client to access that entity because of some absurd assumption on the part of unity's www class.

 

I also want to get www.text on error... (Unity4.6)

 

Any progress on this? Is there a workaround?

 

As far as I know, still no official solution, but there are a couple 3rd party WWW tools on asset store that are way more functional like BestHTTP at least.

 

The Unity 5 changelog states "WWW: Populate .bytes and .text on non-200 response."

Thank you Unity!!

 

did anyone actually see this is working ?
