If you are there then you have this problem HTTP failed - ISteamHTTP displayed in your console. I explain here the simple solution to solve it and why it happens.

The known error looks like this in your Gmod server console :

[ERROR] HTTP failed - ISteamHTTP isn't available!



  1. httpF - lua/includes/modules/http.lua:27

   2. server_data_load - gamemodes/darkrp/gamemode/requestsl.lua:659

    3. unknown - gamemodes/darkrp/gamemode/requestsl.lua:709

     4. include - [C]:-1

      5. unknown - gamemodes/darkrp/gamemode/init.lua:32

Why does HTTP fail?

The HTTP module initialised here > lua / includes / modules / http.lua in the garrysmod folder of your server,
is simply not yet initialized at the time a function calls for it. The solution is not to launch it immediately. I know that sometimes for security reasons you will want to launch it as soon as possible and fortunately there is the most optimized and quickest method is to place in a timer.simple at 0 seconds, the function that calls the HTTP function often used by http.Fetch and http.Post. It should look like this :

Timer.Simple( 0 , function()



    http.Fetch("url")



end)
