[FreeRTOS Home] [Live FreeRTOS Forum] [FAQ] [Archive Top] [July 2016 Threads] exchanging data between HTTP server and cPosted by rasty1 on July 16, 2016 Hi,
I'm trying to find information regarding interface between HTTP server and c.
I was searching source code for CGI, but did not find anything.
Is there any example or documenation?
I need to read data (string, numeric) from form and put results back.
Thanks
Rasty
exchanging data between HTTP server and cPosted by rtel on July 16, 2016 You can do this using AJAX. See http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/

exchanging data between HTTP server and cPosted by rasty1 on July 16, 2016 I googled internet for AJAX and FreeRTOS and did not find anything usable.
There is simple example that shows dynamic change of page from local file, which is nice, but how to exchange data with run-time, not via files?
exchanging data between HTTP server and cPosted by heinbali01 on July 16, 2016 The HTTP server as it is currently, doesn't have any hooks yet to pass data to the application. But it would certainly be very useful.
The approach that I like is using JQuery, which is a library "on top of" JS and AJAX. The JQuery application in the browser will send requests to the embedded application in a form like this:
~~~~
/request?temperature=?
/request?temperature=23.5
~~~~
Or using JSON expressions:
~~~~
/request?add={"colour":"red","weight":1200}
~~~~
When loading pages, the browser sends GET commands. The above requests will also be sent as a GET. The difference is the question mark: if it is present the HTTP driver will no even attempt to search for a directory or file named "/request". In stead the string will be forwarded

I played a little bit with AJAX and lhttpd on Linux, it can pass strings (via CGI) to python script.
What would be equivalent in FreeRTOS httpd?

Great. Maybe you can you record this communication by running WireShark? The you can see what HTTP commands are exchanged, literally.

For instance, like I described shortly here above.
I'm thinking of a callback that can be defined in the application:
~~~~
BaseTypet xHTTPApplicationHook( char *pcCommand, sizet uxMaxLength )
{
}
~~~~
The function will check the command and write the reply into the same buffer.

Above is simple request, it starts python script and sends DIR command via python to the target. It is not ajax - I didn't managed to access form field from ajax - I'll finish ajax example in few days.
When do you think xHTTPApplicationHook will be available?

Everything works fine once I set correct gateway address.
When do you think you will have application Hooks for Dymamic contents?
Best regards

exchanging data between HTTP server and cPosted by heinbali01 on July 24, 2016 Still on holiday, but I restart on the first of August. If you write me an email ( h point tibosch on freertos point org ), we'll make a setup for this and test it.
