HTTP Set requests

[alloyd]

I have the commandfusion controlling 232 and IR no problem with the
GC100, I would also like to control a Dynalite system that has a
Ethernet adaptor. If I send a HTTP request in a browser I can set the
lighting presets, level etc. I would like to send out the same HTTP
requests from Command Fusion. The code is for example http:\
\192.168.5.24\SetDyNet.cgi?a=1&p=2 (this is the IP address of the
Dynalite ethernet module)
Any assitance would be great even if confirmation that it cant be done
this way and we have to put a 232 module on the lighting system thats
controlled from the GC100

Hi,

Our software does not support sending HTTP requests natively. But
perhaps you can generate the correct HTTP Request packet data and send
it as a custom command.

The typical format of a HTTP GET Request is like so:
GET /SetDyNet.cgi?a=1&p=2 HTTP/1.0\nHost: http://192.168.5.24\n\n

Send this on port 80 to 192.168.5.24 over TCP.

Come to think of it, you might have to change the \n's to the
equivalent hex char code \x0A

GET /SetDyNet.cgi?a=1&p=2 HTTP/1.0\x0AHost: http://192.168.5.24\x0A\x0A

This is basically what your browser would send to the device when you
request a page. You might be able to find a FireFox plugin (liveHTTP
Headers I think its called) which shows you exactly whats being sent
by your browser when you access any page.

You probably dont need the http:// at the start of the host details
either:

GET /SetDyNet.cgi?a=1&p=2 HTTP/1.0\x0AHost: 192.168.5.24\x0A\x0A
