2022.2.2 how to update a variable value in a URL

[mundmc]

I used to rely on this functionality, but it looks like it might be dead.

For example, I used to have an app (Locative) fire off http://USER:PWD@ADDRESS:8176/variables/ ... value=true

I read throught he new HTTP instructions, and I cannot tell if this approach can be approximated.

Does the Locative app support doing HTTP POST requests? That's what you'll need to use along with the new HTTP API.

Or use the GeoFence plugin, which supports Locative.

Thanks Jay- It DOES have a POST option, I am just uncertain how i package this in a URL encoded line... something maybe like this, but I am in the weeds here:

Code: Select all

Hey Joe- I just installed your plugin and took a look at it. Am I correct that I need an account with the GeoFancy web service to use Locative (as opposed to just sending geofencing info directly to my reflector? I looked at the subforum but still wasn't clear on it.

Thanks all

I don't think so. You just put the URL into the mobile app. Something like:

Code: Select all

https://mmdc.indigodomo.net/message/se.furtenbach.indigo.plugin.beacon/webhook?api_key=<your reflector token>

HTTP POST requests can't be completely specified on a URL line, so I'm unclear what you need exactly. Can you post a screenshot from the POST configuration screen in Locative?

When doing a POST, you specify the URL, headers (though that's optional), and a payload that gets posted to the URL.

I think that was what I needed to understand, thank you. I will play with Joe's plugin and see if I can figure this out with his tips.
