Your edge project event script is pointing at `localhost` for the HTTP Post, which is, unless your standard project is on the edge panel, the wrong endpoint to target. Get the IP of the standard project gateway and use that instead. Assuming the amount of data to send is small, consider using [`system.util.sendMessage`](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-util/system-util-sendMessage) or [`system.util.sendRequest`](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-util/system-util-sendRequest) on the edge server to send a message to the main server with the data to handle. This does not require the webdev module. Also, webdev module is not required to make HTTP requests, just to handle them. Screenshots are nice for context, but please also post code as preformatted text to help speed up troubleshooting for others, see [Wiki - how to post code on this forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831). --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/can-an-edge-use-the-webdev-module-to-connect-with-the-http-method-for-a-standard-project/109392)._
