Pi-hole Web Request failure

[Landmine]

1) Give a description of the problem
Webcore does not appear to be sending the web request to my pi-hole on my local network.

2) What is the expected behavior?
I expect Webcore to send a post request to my local pi-hole to use the API to disable it for 60 minutes.

3) What is happening/not happening?
The console reports everything is running, but Pi-hole is not changing its status. If I copy and paste the same link in Firefox the request is successful.

4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston![image|45x37]

5) Attach any logs (From ST IDE and by turning logging level to Full)

What do you get when you log $httpStatusCode after the web call?

[Landmine]

411

That is awesome! The more I use Webcore the more I’m impressed with it.

Adding “Content-Length: 0” to the Request body resolved the issue!

Your post reminded me that I’ve been wanting to try pi-hole for a while now and so I did set it up yesterday… one night and half the queries in my network are blocked!

My question is why do you want to turn it off sometimes?

[Core_PHX]

I’ve been running a dedicated pi-hole server for about a year now. The reason why you might want to turn it off versus adding domains to the whitelist is for times when you have to work with blocked sites.

For instance, in mine, I have Google Analytics completely blocked, but my job requires me to pull reports and such from GA, so, when I’m pulling reports, I turn pi-hole off for a period rather than whitelisting GA.
