Hi Dave,

I've attached an example panel snippet below making use of ogScript to send a GET request and receive the response. 

To read the response, a callback function needs to be added as an argument to the HTTP ASync Message block:


The callback function is defined here:
From the callback, the response text is parsed into JSON. From the JSON object, you can then read the desired value.

Example Panel:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><abs contexttype="opengear" gridsize="20" id="_top" keepalive="false">
   <meta>
      <params>
         <param access="1" maxlength="0" name="ResponseText" oid="responseText" stateless="true" type="STRING" value="" widget="multiline-text"/>
      </params>
   </meta>
   <button buttontype="push" height="140" left="20" name="Send HTTP GET Request" top="40" width="180">
      <task tasktype="ogscript">function myCallback(responseText) {
	/*-arg responseText: { "type": "STRING",  "widget": "text",  "value": ""} -*/



	var parsedResponse = "";
	var requestedValue = "";

	/*! block id=1010,1007,1013,1014,1016,1015,1016 !*/
	if (	responseText  !=  null) { 	parsedResponse = JSON.parse(responseText);
requestedValue = parsedResponse.origin; 	ogscript.debug(	requestedValue); 	params.setValue('responseText', 0, requestedValue) } else {  }
	/*!!
 	&lt;block id="1010" type="if" x="283" y="10" w="268" INPUT1="ID:1007" OPERATION="does not equal" INPUT2="null" TRUE="ID:1013" FALSE="" IGNORE="" /&gt;

	!!*/
}




/*! block id=1006 !*/
ogscript.asyncHTTP("https://httpbin.org/get", "GET", "application/json", null, myCallback);
/*!!
 &lt;block id="1006" type="ogscript_async" x="176" y="108" w="318" URL="https://httpbin.org/get" METHOD="GET" TYPE="application/json" DATA="null" CALLBACK="myCallback" /&gt;
!!*/
/*!!&lt;checksum&gt;07399059f99438e00e39975a24cdb66a&lt;/checksum&gt;!!*/</task>
   </button>
   <param editable="false" expand="true" height="240" left="20" oid="responseText" showlabel="false" top="260" width="320"/>
   <label height="40" left="20" name="Response:" style="txt-align:west;" top="220" width="180"/>
</abs>

Hopefully this helps, please let me know if you have any further questions!
