PHP Fatal error: Uncaught UnirestException: Bad URL

I'm trying to request a REST API using PHP Unirest.
The printed error is the following:

Bad URL, colon is first character

And my code:

<?php
require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

use UnirestRequest as UniRequest;
use CurlFile;

if (isset($_POST['primeiro'])) {
$where = $_POST["where"];
$equal = $_POST["equal"];

$resultado = new pedidos;
$valores = $resultado->LogIgualA($where, $equal);
}

class pedidos {
function LogIgualA($where, $equal) {
$wsURL = "localhost:8080/public";

try {
$valores = UniRequest::get($wsURL."/visual/json_log/where=".$where."/equal=".$equal, $headers, null);
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}

$valoresAux = $valores->body;

$valores = ;

foreach($valoresAux as $z){
$ID = $z->ID;
$DateConnection = $z->DateConnection;
$TimeToServe = $z->TimeToServe;
$ClientIP = $z->ClientIP;
$CacheCode = $z->CacheCode;
$Bytes = $z->Bytes;
$Method = $z->Method;
$RequestProtocol = $z->RequestProtocol;
$RequestIP = $z->RequestIP;
$RequestPort = $z->RequestPort;
$RequestFolder = $z->RequestFolder;
$Auth = $z->Auth;
$RouteLeft = $z->RouteLeft;
$RouteRight = $z->RouteRight;
$ContentType = $z->ContentType;
}

return $valores;
}
}


The "isset($_POST['primeiro']" is when I click the button in HTML so it calls the function in PHP.
I really don't know how to use this...

Where/when do you get that error message? Btw, is the URL really localhost:8080/public/public/....? and then .../json_log/where=something/equal=something? That looks pretty strange.

localhost:8080/public/public/....

.../json_log/where=something/equal=something

no, i have changed now, but the error presists

Are you 100% sure that the URL format is correct? That you're not suppose to send in a query string for where and equal? Either way, you should urlencode() those variables before putting them into the URL.

where

equal

100% I'm not. but I know I have to send the parms in the url. Can I do this? $valores = $resultado->LogIgualA(urlencode($where), urlencode($equal));

$valores = $resultado->LogIgualA(urlencode($where), urlencode($equal));

He means: UniRequest::get($wsURL."/visual/json_log/where=".urlencode($where)."/equ.........

UniRequest::get($wsURL."/visual/json_log/where=".urlencode($where)."/equ.........

You need to prepend a protocol like https://.

https://

There are other people having the same issue where prepending the protocol fixed this... https://github.com/Azure/doAzureParallel/issues/44

URL is not http: localhost:8080/public

localhost:8080/public

Also check that there is no malicious input in your $_POST vars and maybe you need to use urlencode() on the fields containing appropriate characters.

$_POST

urlencode()

That would be a pretty awful error message, if that is the issue. Not saying that it isn't the issue, just an observation. :-)

the "static" part of the URL is "localhost:8080/public". And if I add the http:// it loads infinitely
