Wildcard config for DICOM clients

[kacey...@gmail.com]

Is there a way to use wildcards in the LIST OF DICOM CLIENTS portion of the config? I have several Osirix users and would like to use a single entry to encompass all of them..something like this:

"Osirix" : [ "OsiriX-%", "172.17.000.%", 11112]

If possible, this would keep me from having to add an entry for each one.

Hello,

No, there is no such a feature in Orthanc.

I would suggest you to create a simple script that would automatically generate your configuration file, given the number of OsiriX clients.

This could for instance be done in a few lines of Python.

To piggyback off of this, because I have the same issue, is there a way to change the configuration file through the Orthanc interface then, without having to restart Orthanc?

In my use-case, Orthanc runs on a restricted device, yet the data that the Orthanc serves is not private or is restricted, only the device hardware is. This means the end-user can not change configuration scripts or even restart Orthanc. It is then impossible to use a new DICOM viewer which was not added to the configuration file from the start.

Yes, you can remotely reboot Orthanc by POST-ing an empty HTTP query on URI "/tools/reset". For instance using curl:

# curl -X POST http://localhost:8042/tools/reset -d ""

HTH,

Hi Sébastien,

I read list api at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1muKHMIb9Br-59wfaQbDeLzAfKYsoWfDSXSmyt6P4EM8/pubhtml?gid=1231659957&single=true

But it is so simple, 

Do you have any detail document for these APIs?

Thanks,

[Sébastien Jodogne]

Besides this quick reference of the REST API, you can refer to the Orthanc Book (https://orthanc.chu.ulg.ac.be/book/users/rest.html) and to the integration tests to have full working examples (https://bitbucket.org/sjodogne/orthanc-tests/src/default/Tests/Tests.py).
