B4J Question Problems related to invalid cookies header

[saeed10051]

I am trying to run a server with B4J using following article

[Server] Upload files from your B4A app to your B4J server over the internet

This example shows how to make your B4J server application accessible over the internet. The implemented server is a simple file server that allows you to upload files from your B4A application to the server over the internet. The following steps are required in order to make your server...

www.b4x.com

When i run the B4J program i get the following lines in the log. there is a warning for invalid cookie header, has anyone else faced this invalid cookie header problem. However at the end it is showning Update duckdns ok. When i try to connect to this server from my mobile it doesnt work. The page doesnt load.

Waiting for debugger to connect...

Update DuckDNS: OK

I have set the port forwarding as specified in the tutorial

Let first try to find what has access and what is blocking where.

The first step is the bypass the Windows firewall to check a correct working program:

1. open a browser on the same PC as the webserver
2. Type the following url:

3. 127.0.0.1:54021/test

4. Use the keycombinatie Windows + R to open a command window
5. Type the following command

6. ipconfig/all

7. Search for the results of the "Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi:" for the IPv4 Address (This gives for example 192.168.178.38)
8. Replace the address 127.0.0.1 in the url found in de command box (in my example 192.168.178.38) in your browser

9. 192.168.178.38:54021/test

10. Open a browser on the telephone which is connect to the same wifi network
11. Add the same command with your wireless address of the wifi interface to url search bar

12. 192.168.178.38:54021/test

Now every step should be successful by displaying the test page. The fact that the log shows Update DuckDNS: OK llooks that the connection to the Internet and DuckDNS works correctly. s can have two different WiFi networks. Standard network behavior could route traffic from both WiFi networks only to the Internet. You can check your IPv4 Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway addresses on both the server and the WiFi connected mobile phone. As a rule of thumb, the first address is unique, the last two must be the same to communicate.

Your router has a LAN Interface address which is accessible from the Internet. If you disable the WiFi interface on your mobile phone, the mobile phone is enforce to communicate via your provider over the Internet. A provider can block the external port that is used by port forwarding of your router. You can check this while you WiFi interface is disabled and try to connect to the public LAN address of your router which has the port forwarding. I don't think this is the case because DuckDNS is working (and use the same route over the Internet).
If you cannot see the test page in this case, there problem may arise between the mobile network from you telephone provider to the Internet. The question arise and which you must try is: can someone else with a PC and someone other mobile phone provider successful retrieve your test page with the following command whereby you replace the text between <> by the actual values?

1. <ROUTER public LAN address>:<Public Port Address>/test

Go through the steps indicated including the step over the internet to see if you have a router configuration challenge or if your mobile phone provider is the challenge.

Hi Micro drie
Thanks for the detailed info.
I have checked upto point 12 in your message, and it is showing test page both in my pc (server) and my mobile phone while it is connected to the same wifi as the server.
However when i try to write my router ip address in the mobile browser while it is connected to my 4G data provider then the page doesnt load
Another point is that when i go to see my router LAN settings (attached), i see my ip address as 192.168.10.1 while when i go to whatismyip.com i see an entirely different ip public address. I have checked with both but the page on my mobile browser is not loading while i am connected to data provider instead of wifi.
I am using chrome both on my pc and my mobile

 

[saeed10051]

Also when i use ipconfig this address 192.168.10.1 is being shown as my default gateway

 

[OliverA]

Your service provider is giving you a non-public IP address and therefore you are unreachable via normal dynamic dns means

 

[saeed10051]

But when i go to whatismyip.com, it specifies my public ip address

I can access the admin page for my router, is there are way around for this

 

[OliverA]

But when i go to whatismyip.com, it specifies my public ip address

The IP address assigned by your ISP to your router is 192.158.100.9 . That is a private IP address. whatismyip.com does show you a public IP address, but that is the address of your ISP’s router. Your ISP is using NAT (or something to that effect) to assign private IP numbers to its customers. It could be that some default ports are forwarded to the private IP addresses, but it would make sense that non-standard ports are not forwarded. So access to your routers page may work (since you are most likely accessing it via port 80 or 443), but the custom port is blocked/not forwarded.

 

[saeed10051]

So if i try port 80 instead of 51042 then it might work

 

[OliverA]

So if i try port 80 instead of 51042 then it might work

It may, as long as the router lets you forward port 80.

 

[saeed10051]

I have checked with port 80. When my phone is on same wifi network then i get a page showing that your connection is not private
while when i am on 4G then it shows that page cannot be loaded.
