Webserver AMS8 - LuaSocket HTTP

[Tone]

well done mate :yes

[Desrat]

Issue resolved - status codes are required in server responses or droid browser rejects the data

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

[Desrat]

Wouldn't know for sure without looking, but my guess is that the Droid web browsers are expecting a certain message from the web server when connection is accepted or attempted.

Again anyone now how I can trace/test this theory? I really need to address this issue, without it my app is dead in the water...

any ideas how I'd find that out?

I wrote this fast but you can do your own modification:

OnShow:

myEmail = "[email protected]" -- Your private email which you will use to send the commands from.
strOldCmd = "";
Page.StartTimer(60000, 1);

OnTimer:

if e_ID == 1 then
	HTTP.DownloadSecure("https://mail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom", _TempFolder.."\\email.xml", MODE_BINARY, 20, 443, nil, nil, nil);
	XML.Load(_TempFolder.."\\email.xml");
	strCmd = XML.GetValue("feed/entry/title");
	strAuthor = XML.GetValue("feed/entry/email");
	if strAuthor == myEmail then
		if strCmd ~= strOldCmd then
			strCmd = strOldCmd;
			-- Commands
			if strCmd == "testcmd" then
				Dialog.Message("Testcmd", "You have entered testcmd");
			elseif strCmd == "hello" then
				Dialog.Message("Hello", "You have entered hello");
			elseif strCmd == "alarm" then
				Audio.Load(CHANNEL_NARRATION, "AutoPlay\\Audio\\Alarm.mp3", true, false);
			end
		end
	end
	File.Delete(_TempFolder.."\\email.xml", false, false, false, nil);
end

Remember to login in gmail.com in your special account via Internet Explorer first.

I'll definately have a little play with this.

If you want to control your computer with your ipod then this is what I did. I made a program with AMS which will check the RSS feed of a special email (@gmail) that I created just for this case.

My requirement for this is in real time, but I'd be interested to see that implementation.

Then you can add a 1 minute timer which will check that RSS feed. So if you want to send a command to the program, then you just have to send an email via ipod to that special email and the program will do what ever you asked. If you want I can make an example.

nice to see ya worm and thanks for the great example this is based off - but being as your looking anyway any idea on the android issue?

[Worm]

Yea... I'm more of a lurker these days than a contributor. I do check in at least a couple times a week to try to stay in the loop of AMS. I'm still here, just flying low for the time being.

[Desrat]

also just tried live android in vmware same issue.

[Desrat]

anyone have any idea why a user cant connect from android based devices - keep getting "Data connectivity problem: the server failed to communicate. Try again later" - should add the android devices are a motorola backflip and a HTC desire - tried multiple different browsers on these devices with no success however pc's, mac, linux, and iOS all work fine - just android being a pain.

The reason I'm working on this is for remote access to an ams app on my pc from my ipod touch, I have tried socket plugin but whilst its awesome for app to app connections I dont have the knowledge to use it in this situation need more time with it - I dont need full remote desktop access that is sluggish and unwieldy on a 320x480 display, I just want to stop/start/monitor the odd program so there should never be a requirement for more than a single user to be connected - its just that the implementation in the apz above seemed a little clunky but I'm still playing around with it..

Hey there I added the same kind of option within a IRC bot I am playing with its able to start stop and restart my webserver and in the future restart shutdown lock the server its self and other little tricks like this nice idea Desrat
