After the event deviceready all plugins have been loaded. So if the event is fired you have to load up the webserver and start it. Create a function onDeviceReady and put the webserver code in there. So the webserver will start up after everything have been loaded.

Example:

function onDeviceReady() {
    webserver.onRequest(
            function(request) {
                console.log("O MA GAWD! This is the request: ", request);
                document.getElementById("server").innerHTML = "O MA GAWD! This is the request: " + request;

                webserver.sendResponse(
                    request.requestId,
                    {
                        status: 200,
                        body: '<html>Hello World</html>',
                        headers: {
                            'Content-Type': 'text/html'
                        }
                    }
                );
            }
        );

    webserver.start(
      function() {
        alert('Success!');
      },
      function() {
        alert('Error!');
      },
      1337
    );
}

Hey
Thanks. That is working.
It takes some time to see the request. Any reason for that?

Also, is it possible for it to listen to other types of incoming methods, like a NOTIFY request?

That request is send by a Upnp eventing server when a client wants to be updated of events or changes in the Upnp server.
A client sends a SUBSCRIBE request (similar to a GET request) with a callback url, like this webserver address and in return the Upnp sends a NOTIFY response to the webserver, to tell if there are any changes.

I can see that it does not receive any response.

In python/ruby I can simply define a new do_POST function and make it equal to a or listen to a do_NOTIFY responses as well, when you start a simple HTTP webserver, to begin listening for responses, of that nature.

How can I do that here. Tell the webserver to listen to NOTIFY responses as well.

EDIT -
NanoHTTPD says that

You can easily implement/customize any HTTP method, though.

And GCDWebServer implements handlers

to process incoming web requests and generating responses. Handlers are implemented with GCD blocks which makes it very easy to provide your own.

How can we do that?

Hi, why you should use a "NOTIFY" header? Can't you use just a default header like POST or GET?

arjunmenon avatar arjunmenon commented on August 13, 2024

I am listening to and interacting with a Upnp/Openhome server. They communicate with NOTIFY/SUBSCRIBE HTTP methods.
So the plugin can't receive any responses if they are set to default methods.
Since the core android/ios server gives customization, how can we use them.

Have you looked in the request object in the onRequest function for the "method" property?

webserver.onRequest(
    function(request) {
      console.log("Request method: ", request.method);
      webserver.sendResponse(
      request.requestId,
        {
          status: 200,
          body: '<html>Hello World</html>',
          headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'text/html'
         }
       }
     );
   }
)

The library should listen to any HTTP Request method. Please try it out and tell me if it doesn't

Hey
Since it's part of the request object, nothin changes. I tried it though.
Simple curl GET/POST requests are shown. Doing a SUBSCRIBE request does nothing.

If it helps, you can check page 64(under eventing) inside this PDF document.
It details how to send a request. It mentions to send a SUBSCRIBE request. And it will get back a NOTIFY. Not a POST or GET.

I have a simple python server listening in on NOTIFY request to it.

It works there.

EDIT - Doing a cimple curl request with various HTTP methods

>$ curl -X POST  http://192.168.1.2:1337
^C
>$ curl -X PUT  http://192.168.1.2:1337
^C
>$ curl -X DELETE  http://192.168.1.2:1337
^C
>$ curl -X NOTIFY  http://192.168.1.2:1337
BAD REQUEST: Syntax error. HTTP verb NOTIFY unhandled.
>$ curl -X SUBSCRIBE  http://192.168.1.2:1337
BAD REQUEST: Syntax error. HTTP verb SUBSCRIBE unhandled.

The server isn't configured to handle any customized HTTP methods.

This is what the simple python server shows when it listens a NOTIFY request

>$ python reflect.py 
Listening on localhost:8081

I have no time to improve the code. Sorry.
I think it's possible to retrieve other HTTP Methods than the usual ones.

arjunmenon avatar arjunmenon commented on August 13, 2024

Hey
Can you give example how to test that.
Because I think by default both of them handle only basic HTTP methods. Custom handlers have to be written.
So what did I miss in getting info on other HTTP methods? That would be helpful.

Hey @bykof
I just checked with the author. It is not possible to extend Nanohttpd. - NanoHttpd/nanohttpd#478

I guess for this task some other server is the only solution, like Jetty, which is truly extensible.

But since you are tied up with your studies, hope one day you can take a look.
