payload for internet envent (feature request)

[Ron]

I've just finished extending Girder to have a "binary" field, thus allowing the plugins to add abritrary data to a command. I needed this for the eventserver client plugin because I'd used up all the available fields :wink: And other developers have been asking for this too.

I'm now testing this binary field and extending the plugin, as my time currently is limited ( as i said earlier my classes started again ) I cannot make any promises when this will be finished.

ot: for the interested developers, the API now also supports the new register types.

[Ron]

Sounds interesting. I'll look into this, if I can add it without braking the protocol.

[Ron]

That will break compatibility. Just think of the people that used eventstrings with a space.

[Ron]

I was thinking this of adding a command "payload" to the protocol, everything after that until the newline would be used as the payload for the next eventstring that is passed.

If the INetServer would place the whole string into pld1 then the Variable Manipulation Script stuff could be used to parse it any way you'd like.

Don't know if this has been covered before, I didn't see any references:

I would like to pass an additional string (payload) with an internt command and have that stored in a text register. Then I could send stuff like this from my "remote control webpad" to girder

Winamp_AddFile c:mediamusicartistsong.mp3

and have winamp enque the specified file.

Ron?

Treat everything in front of a space as the command string, everything after the space as the parameter?

But then you'd have the problem of Girder having to decide what the correct eventstring is. Maybe there could be a second string after the eventstring that is the payload.

Maybe something like:

<- accept
-> EventString n
-> Parameter1 n
-> Parameter2 n
-> Parametern n
-> closen

[JayCee]

Sounds good to me too...

(When will this be ready? <g,d&r>)
