Even with all of the cool features they've been releasing(HTTP Service, Module Scripts, Surface GUIs, Rotatoes, etc), you still find a way to complain.

They're cool features.

I want to use them...

It's just that there's no source saying how.

^ Simply because you don't know GET and POST, beforehand.

Why do you expect everything to be handed to you on a plate? Why can't you just your brain to figure something out?

For my first two years on roblox I did everything myself and learned scripting myself.

The last two, I've had loyal soldiers help me, and the only way I have increased my scripting skills is by making stuff for them.

It says nowhere on the wiki page HOW to use it, I looked there before making this thread.

If you aren't able to figure out where to learn how to use it, I doubt that you would even be able to use it if it was spoonfed to you. Also, you're probably going to have quite a hard time with databases.

To be honest, :PostAsync confuses me a bit. I've got a working server that I can GET lua scripts from, but I'm not sure how I would go about using POST to post information to it.

If you cannot figure out how to use a function/method or property based on the name and given arguments, then you still have a lot of room for improvement, and may have a hard time learning how to use features that are new to you.

I know exactly how to call it, however I'm not sure how to make it actually do something. There isn't any documentation as to how to.

Yeah the thing about it is that I can research it myself if I knew where to start. What to search up etc.

Can someone tell me quickly how to set up a website and link it you your script?

Get a copy of XAMPP, run it, insert stuffs, port-forward, get ip, put the ip in this line:

Game.HTTPService:GetAsync(ip, true)

done.

I have a website I coded myself. I have a decent knowledge of HTML, PHP, and Lua, and I know basically how Get and Post work, I have used them before. But I have no idea how Roblox has implemented it. There is very, very little documentation. I've looked for about an hour now, but I'm still pretty clueless. Can the server receive information from the site? How do I format the data requests I am sending? How does the server interpret the data request? What's with this JSON stuff?

Experiment. If there is no documentation, then figure out what it does on your own through experimentation based on how something appears to work.
