HL Public IP script

[Mrinj]

Hi,

Until now I've used this script for the public IP change on HL:

Code:

ip_old = grp.getvalue('10/1/253')

require("socket.http")
myip = (socket.http.request("http://whatismyip.org/"))
ip = myip:match("[%font%-weight%: 600;\"%>](%d+%.%d+%.%d+%.%d+)")

if ip ~= ip_old then
 subject = 'HL has New Public IP'
 message = ip
 Email('my@email.com', subject, message)
end

grp.checkwrite('10/1/253', ip,dt.string)

Unfortunately whatismyip.org is closed and the script is not working.

Then I created this one:

Code:

ip_old = grp.getvalue('10/1/253')

require("socket.http")
ip = (socket.http.request("https://api.ipify.org"))

if ip ~= ip_old then
 subject = 'HL has New Public IP'
 message = ip
 Email('my@email.com', subject, message)
end

grp.checkwrite('10/1/253', ip, dt.string)

The csript is working in SciTE (or similar) in this version:

Code:

require("socket.http")
ip = (socket.http.request("https://api.ipify.org"))
print (ip)

but NOT in HL.

What do I do wrong?!?
