GET and POST variables

[richard123]

I am trying to set up the device to listen on a port (say 2222) over wifi.

When I enter a URL like http://19.168.0.1.155:2222/?number=1234567890&passsword=xyz in my desktop browser, I want the device to initiate a phone call to the number.

Initiating the phone call is easy. I have not, however, been able to find anything that helps me get those variables. I have seen the file transfer examples, but I think(??) this case is different.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Your device doesn't run a HTTP server. Assuming that you do not want to implement one it will be much easier to open a socket, connect to the device and send the data.

So does that mean I need to write software that runs on the desktop? Or should I still be able to pass the phon number via a simple http GET?

This means that you cannot communicate with the device by entering a URL in the browser (as there is no web server running on the device).

Makes perfect sense. I have been doing some more research and I found NanoHTTPD

I'm just debating whether it's worth trying to convert/integrate that into b4a or do the whole thing in Java with Eclipse.
