Im trying to find a way to have processing send a single repeatable http request i have tried using processing.net.* but when it will continue to call my perl script causing it to loop, i have to use the noLoop() or webrequest.stop() and then the function is not repeatable like in a if statement.

in this case i need to be capable  of  pressing x and having the web request go out every time x is pressed.

thanks for any help or info on this


Code:

import processing.net.*;
int msg = 8;
Client webrequest;
int data;


void setup() {
  size(200, 200);
  background(50);
  fill(200);

  webrequest = new Client(this, " 127.0.0.1", 80);


}
void draw() {
 if (key == 'x') {
  webrequest.write("GET /cgi-bin/cgi.pl?"+ msg +" HTTP/1.1\n"); 
  webrequest.write("Host: Processing\n\n"); 

 noLoop();

}
} 

thanks i removed void draw() for void keyPressed() and works great now!
