Hello, I have an issue with HTML requests. I want to send myself an SMS via Free’s API, which does this very well and for free. You just need to do: > [https://smsapi.free-mobile.fr/sendmsg?user=XXXXXX&pass=XXXXXXX&msg=Super](https://smsapi.free-mobile.fr/sendmsg?user=XXXXXX&pass=XXXXXXX&msg=Super) Texte de la mort But when I put this command in the HTML requests block, whether as POST or GET, it tells me: > An error occurred during the request. Are you sure you filled out the form correctly? However, the SMS messages do arrive. I tried treating the key/value pairs as headers; no more error message but also no more SMS. This prevents saving the scene: > An error occurred while saving your scene. Please check that all actions/triggers are filled in and correct. Any idea? Thanks ---

That seems fine to me Have you managed to resolve your issue since? ---

I’m bypassing it via MQTT, but it’s not exactly practical… ---

Did you have a quick look at Gladys’ logs when you got the error? ---

Hi @Hizo! I ran a test on my side this morning, and I didn’t see anything, everything is working. You should have received an SMS « Test » ^^ Are you sure about what you’re doing? ---

Yes I received it last night 🙂 I know I’m not always lightning-fast but this… ![Screenshot_20230324_090723](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/0/03d3e3475f30b720e785982540ea461739464c5a.png) I do receive an email… For the test I only added this action and I tested on Firefox and Opera. ---

Ok, I wasn’t doing the same thing — I created a scene, saved it, and ran it. I’ll re-test with the same scenario as you. ---

Ok this time I can reproduce it: ![Screenshot 2023-03-24 at 16.16.06](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/0/0271e4fb604b8ebdd6a68777239db9704c22f71e.png) When making an API call via the « Try » button, the front-end doesn’t handle the API response missing the « Content-Type » header. It’s just a display bug, but it doesn’t prevent using the scene. If you create the scene, don’t click « try », just save it and click « Run » the scene to test. It should work without problems 🙂 Edit: I created a GitHub issue for the front-end bug: > > > \Screenshot 2023-03-24 at 16 16 06 > > https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/utilisation-de-lapi-free-dans-requete-http/7998/11?u=pierre-gilles ---

OK, thanks. I can no longer reproduce it, but testing prevented me from saving the scene as indicated in the first message. ---

Sorry I just did one last test to check that my fix was good (it was literally 5 characters to change), now I’ll stop bothering you 😉 It will be included in the next version of Gladys, but you don’t need to wait, don’t use the « Try » button in the meantime!
