Feature request, support HTTP headers?

[wkearney99]

Would you pass along a request to the folks responsible for the RA2 main repeaters?

Right now the repeater doesn't return a valid "Last-Modified" header.

Nor does it support being sent an HTTP 'HEAD' command.

The two, used together, would be a nicely lightweight way for a 3rd party to query the repeater via the DbXmlInfo.xml URI for versioning.

As in, make a HEAD request and check the returned 'Last-Modified' header to see if the configuration has changed since it was last requested.

Or maybe I'm missing something, is there a way to query for a timestamp or other value that would let me compare whether the data I've already downloaded is still valid?

Will it accept a conditional get with a 'If-Modified-Since' header?

I have sent your feedback to our System Development team so they can look into adding this as a future update.

Thanks, it'd certainly allow interfaces to be little more robust. And stand the chance of faster interaction. Right now, having to download and parse the whole XML file chews up a bunch of CPU & time. Only to discover that nothing has changed.

I did some more digging and found the command ?system,10 will return the last time the XML file was changed. This could be from a transfer, or a homeowner making changes through the Home Control+ app.

Hi Mike,

Sorry old thread but would like to confirm the command "?system,10" will print the the last time the project was uploaded?

Also is there a detailed info on all terminal commands regarding debug/system info as terminal doesnt show all commands.


Thanks
