Testing HTTP listener

When using the HTTP transfer method it can be usefult to test that the HTTP listener on your MWC Wallet is still working correctly before trying to send or recieve coins especially from an exchange

Test your MWC Wallet HTTP listener

To test to see if the wallet is working use curl or an online curl tool like https://reqbin.com/curl

Then make a curl request to confirm that your HTTP listener is working on your MWC Wallet

curl --request POST --data-raw '{"jsonrpc": "2.0","method": "check_version","id": 1,"params": []}' http://youripaddress:3415/v2/foreign

If your MWC Wallet's HTTP listener is accessible it should return something like this

{ "id": 1, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": { "Ok": { "foreign_api_version": 2, "supported_slate_versions": [ "V3", "V2" ] } } }

If you do not recieve a valid response resolve the possible issues below as needed

Your IP address may have changed

To check your ip use a tool like https://api.myip.com/

The local IP address of your computer may have changed on your router

The local IP address assigned to your computer by your router may have changed

Login to your router to confirm the local IP address with an open port of 3415 still refers to the computer running your MWC Wallet

An example of your local IP address changing on your router would be your computer having an address of

192.168.0.11

Then the local IP address changing to

192.168.0.6    

If the local IP address has changed update your NAT records to ensure the open port of 3415 refers to the computer running your MWC Wallet
