HTTPRequest> and Notify My Android

[Grovkillen]

Hi there,

I'm trying to use NMA to push script results to my Android phone but I have some problem with the GET request:

Code: Select all

HTTPRequest>http://www.notifymyandroid.com/publicapi/verify?apikey=111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111,,GET,,strHTML

This will give me the return call "strHTML":

Code: Select all

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><nma><success></nma>

But NMA recommend using HTTPS but when trying to connect using the secure protocol will result in a 404 error. Any idea if this is related to the way MS handle HTTP GET command? Is the HTTPRequest> command not compatable with HTTPS?

If I try the https://www.notifymyandroid.com/publicapi/verify?apikey=111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 address in my browser I get a correct answer (not a 404 bad request as with MS using HTTPRequest>).

PS. violet=made up API key!

If anyone want to play around you POST notifications with the following address:
>http://www.notifymyandroid.com/publicapi/notify?apikey=X&application=Y&event=Z&description=O

Is this what you're looking for?

Code: Select all

Let>HTTP_SSL=1
HTTPRequest>http://www.notifymyandroid.com/publicapi/notify?apikey=X&application=Y&event=Z&description=O,,GET,,strHTML,,,,
mdl>strHTML

I only have a plain old cell phone on a pay as you go plan. Costs me about $100 a year and even that I find perturbing. But can't you simply use pop3 to email to any cell phone whether its an android a smart phone or even my antique?

[Grovkillen]

Rain, didn't work... not with HTTPS but with HTTP. Do you mean that if I add:
Let>HTTP_SSL=1
before
HTTPRequest>http://ww.. (note: http with out "s")
it will post it using HTTPS? Doesn't make sense to me...

JRL, yes I could but it's not that sexy. And I think it require more code. I want my users to be able to just add their API key and start receiving notifications. No need for entering POP3 settings etc. etc.

Both, thanks for the input!

From the help file:

For SSL (https) connections set HTTP_SSL to 1. To use SSL you will first need to install the OpenSSL libraries. See:

http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html

[Grovkillen]

Sorry but I missed that information!? I'm usually good at reading the manual but this one got through. Thanks for pointing it out Marcus.

PS. I would guess that the end user also would need to have OpenSSL installed. Thus using the none secure line is the only way to keep the compiled exe independent?

[Marcus Tettmar]

Only two DLLs are needed, so you could simply ship them alongside the exe:

Marcus, great news. Thanks for the info!

Amazing! I just bought my Android phone and it's good to land here, got some ideas.

[Grovkillen]

paulinoe, please share any ideas you might have with the forum. I'd be happy to help and give feedback.

Thanks for the link Grovkillen,

I have NMA and use it for TV show notifications, although its having an issue at the moment none are coming though (even test notifications). However I can see me incorporating this into a script for notification on run / fail etc.

[Grovkillen]

CyberCitizen, that's my main use of this as well (fail/success info)!


EDIT: Haven't used this myself but for WindowsPhone Pushalot is a equivalent to NMA:
