Thanks so much, @m_adam!
Works like a charm!

I must add:

Either they are dragable to the layout or I'm only able to press within the dialog...

I'm having troubles to understand the SetCommandDragId function for c4d.gui.BitmapButtonCustomGui.
I'm using the following function to add my BitmapButton to my Dialog:

    def AddIconButton(self, buttonid, title, iconid, tooltip):
        bc = c4d.BaseContainer()
        bc.SetBool(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_BUTTON, True)
        bc.SetInt32(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_ICONID1, iconid)
        bc.SetString(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_TOOLTIP, tooltip)
        bc.SetInt32(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_FORCE_SIZE, 32)
        button = self.AddCustomGui(buttonid, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON, title, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT | c4d.BFV_SCALEFIT, 40, 40, bc)
        #set button.SetCommandDragId() here?!!!
        return button

Even inside the CreateLayout I had no luck with FindCustomGUI() ...
What's the best way to approach this?

Thanks,
Lasse

yeah, had no luck either... okay, so I'm probably back to importing requests as 3rd party module. :)

Thanks for the quick help, Robert!

@m_adam Just a little addition on macOS you need to put: c4dpy/Contents/MacOS/c4dpy get-pip.py into the terminal, to link to the real executable. the simple c4dpy gives command not found.

@mp5gosu interesting... i guess shipping and importing the requests module with the plugin, is too much of a hassle... really hard to find any further informations on this... strange...

@mp5gosu Yep, the link is coming from the provided JSON data. Also removing the repo from the link gives me the same error!
Is it possible that this has something to do with 'Accept': 'application/octet-stream'? Isn't it possible to stream with urllib2?

@mp5gosu
Hi Robert!

Haven't tested it with a public repo yet, but I'll bet its going to work ... the print of the response gives me:

urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 415: Unsupported Media Type

which I can't find much info for ...

Oh nooo.. That's sad to hear!
Thanks for all your time and help, Andreas!

Wishing you the very best on your newest endeavors...!!!!

Hey everyone,

i am having this problem where I want to download an assets (zipfile) from a private repo on GitHub.

I've started to develop it with requests from there everything worked fine... now I am trying to port it to urllib2 for C4D but it doesn't work anymore...

'Accept': 'application/octet-stream' will always result in: HTTP Error 415: Unsupported Media Type

If I get rid of 'Accept': 'application/octet-stream' it will give me the application/json

        headers = {
            'Authorization': 'token %s' % (MYTOKEN),
            'Accept': 'application/octet-stream',
        }

        url = 'https://api.github.com/repos/USER/REPO/releases/ID'

        request = urllib2.Request(url, headers=headers)
        response = urllib2.urlopen(request)

        print response.read()

        #GIVES ME:
        #urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 415: Unsupported Media Type

Any idea how to avoid the HTTP Error 415 and download the zip to disk?
Really hard to find something about this anywhere...

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Lasse
