Code:
var/Send[] = world.Export("[ServerAddr]?ping&[list2params(Information2Send)]")


Problem description:

Works if i remove the list2params(), stop working if i add it.

Then Information2Send isn't a list.

var/list/Information2Send=list()

Would list2params() work if the list is null?

That is quite thoroughly contextualized and informative. I am glad that you are putting forth every effort to help us help you, but regret to inform you that I am far too sarcastic to help you at this time.

I told you already to press F1 and check in damn help!
world.Export("[ServerAddr]?ping:[list2params(Information2Send)]")
                               ^ // it must be : not & here

I've done that, Ripiz. Still getting same problem.


Garthor, this is what i'm doing:

mob/verb/test()
    var/list/Information2Send=list()
    Information2Send["Key"] = src.key
    var/A[] = world.Export("[ServerAddr]?ping:[list2params(Information2Send)]") // Ripiz form.
    if(!A)
        alert(src, "Oops")
        return

instead of using "=list()" try using "=new" I've had problems with this before and it seems that setting it as new will cause it to be created as a child object of it's parent type.

essentially it makes sure that when the world starts up, it is generated as a list.

It would have been extemely helpful to know what you wanted, but i seem to have figued it out. You want a value on your topic return?
By default topic returns # of players + 1 to a ping. In order to do this to a non-ping (ping:[list2params(Information2Send)] is not a ping) then you will have to set a return value on the receiving server.
Sending:
 
mob/verb/test()
    var/list/Information2Send=list()
    Information2Send["Key"] = src.key
    src << world.Export("byond://localhost:1000?[list2params(Information2Send)]")

Recieving:
world/Topic(T)
    world << T
    return 1


Next time more details please!!!

Thanks. This is strange i've done this a lot of times in this way (If i'm not wrong) and they worked. Now that i've lost those codes, would be impossible to see if i was doing it wrong (I was).
