Hello
How can I send HTTS commands?

[François Lonnee]

Hi!

Thank you for your question.

HTTP messages can be sent to a device using a web browser's address bar, a (home made) web page, or an application that can send HTTP messages.
The address is similar to a normal webpage, so a URL.
Which message can be received and interpreted depends on the device in question. Please find the appropriate user manual in our Downloads section and locate the 'API' appendix near or at the end.

As an example, this command asks a CueCore3 at the default network address of 192.168.1.10 to jump its playback 1 to cue 3:

Code: [Select]

http://192.168.1.10/ajax/pb/01/jump=3
For all the options and more examples, as mentioined: check out the manual.

Note: a response message will be sent back confirming the action. Allowing for interactive communication. Some programming required

Enjoy!

Thank you very much for the answer.

I will clarify my question,

I have a video program that receives commands to run a timeline, etc. via http.

Is there a way to send such commands via the kiosk?

Thank you very much

It is not possible to directly send HTTP request from the Kiosc. But as HTTP commands are sent over TCP and Kiosc can send TCP messages, you can use a trick that will let you send some basic get commands.
It is limited but still better than nothing.

 
Here is the message you need to  send via TCP to simulate an HTTP request:
GET /ajax/pb64/rel HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:192.168.1.16\r\n\r\n


Replace the "/ajax/pb64/rel” by the api command and the ip address in the get command in the host to the ip address of your video controller you want to control.
 
Because there are some \n\r in the message you will have to send everything in hex codes.
There are plenty of websites that will do the conversion but watch out that those site will not convert the  \n\r parts the right way.
\n\r should not be converted to 5C 72 5C 6E but to 0d 0a
 
I personally use packet sender software, that is a really great testing tool and also does the conversion between ascii and hex.
To send hex commands from kiosc start the tag by \0x and then copy past your hex values without spaces.
