Hello,
I try to link to ARC from my TCP/IP client via Windows socket. Can anybody explain the protocol of communication at the server side? I can successfully connect from both my program and Telnet PuTTY, but calling EZ-Script functions encounters troubles. Using PuTTY, I could generate speech from string with Say( text to speech ), but Print( txt ) outputs nothing. Bare TCP/IP produces no reaction at all. I can send strings and the main question is how to mark their end. I can use null-terminated strings. Does anybody know how the receiving server is implemented?
Another option to using the Telnet/TCP interface is to use the HTTP Server (custom) object. If you run the server, you can send script commands using HTTP Get in the following format:
for example, I have a script manager with various commands to control my Foscam camera. I can execute the scripts using a controlcommand()
The web server responds OK
(note: this is not documented, so could potentially change with ARC updates. I discovered it by capturing packets when using the HTTP Server (custom) web page and watching what happened when I hit the buttons)
