loadStrings

Gwinzy

Hello guys, i want to make a program that uses the duration for a route from google maps. But when i use: loadStrings("https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=München&destination=Berlin&key=AIzaSyDR8I6XTP__cVItDdSAuZxjrQLlpqzIEnc"); the console answers:

the URL is working and the same problem appears when i use www.google.de for example.

thanks, but this code gives me the same error.

GoToLoop

Well, it worked for me. Dunno what else could be the problem. Sorry... :-<

Gwinzy

i dont think the code is the problem, i tried multiple example codes

GoToLoop

Well, in my case I had to change "München" to "M%C3%BCnchen" for it to work. L-)

Gwinzy

yes you are right, i have to change this, but if that was the only problem, your code would have worked, wouldnt it? if there is no problem in the code, maybe the proxyserver is the problem, cause i am at work. i will try it at home and will let you know ;) but thanks anyway for your fast help :)
