I am trying to use the Http.Get and GetCached methods but I keep getting an error message and I cannot figure out what is going on. It must be sonmething silly, here is my code :  
  
  
  
[codebox]  
  
  
  
import PMS  
  
from PMS import Plugin, Log, XML, HTTP  
  
from PMS.Objects import \*  
  
from PMS.Shortcuts import \*  
  
import re  
  
  
  
(… CUT TOP OF THE SOURCE …)  
  
  
  
def sub\_category (sender, path , title = None, replaceParent=False, values=None):  
  
  
  
dir = MediaContainer(title1="", title2=title, replaceParent=replaceParent)  
  
  
  
player\_address = WEB\_ROOT+’/player/’+path  
  
html = PMS.HTTP.Get(player\_address)  
  
  
  
[/codebox]  
  
  
  
and I get the following error in the log :  
  
  
  
[codebox]  
  
13:03:52.493237: com.plexapp.plugins.PLUGIN : (Framework) Calling named function ‘sub\_category’  
  
13:03:52.498725: com.plexapp.plugins.PLUGIN : (Framework) An exception happened:  
  
Traceback (most recent call last):

return function(\*args, \*\*kwargs)  
  
File “/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/JTFrance2.bundle/Contents/Code/ **init**.py”, line 105, in sub\_category  
  
html = PMS.HTTP.Get(player\_address)  
  
AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘Get’  
  
  
  
13:03:52.501979: com.plexapp.plugins.PLUGIN : (Framework) Request not handled by plug-in  
  
[/codebox]  
  
I took a peek at other plugins and I do not see what I am doing different  
  
  
  
I have tried HTTP.Get, HTTP.GetCached, PMS.HTTP.Get, PMS.HTTP.GetCached , no luck, I am about to try banging my head harder on my desk but I am not sure it will help … 🙂  
  
  
  
Any suggestion ?

Sorry it took so long for an answer!  
  
  
  
For a V1 plug-in use HTTP.Request, which automatically caches. HTTP.Get / HTTP.GetCached were older V0 API calls.
