Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Api endpoint stream - how?
« Last post by Bruce on May 22, 2025, 07:01:32 PM »Hi Niels,
>> I have some static ftp files that I need to expose via a REST api.
are you over thinking this?
It sounds to me like you just put the static file in the web folder (or sub folder), then the client can just GET it (ie use a regular WebClient to Fetch the file.)
I'm not sure this needs to be in an API?
But assuming it does need to be an API;
Add a StringTheory object to the RETURNS tab of the API.
Put your file in there (probably Base64 encoded.)
>> I'm aware that I can BASE64 encode them but the client would prefer them as "files".
Hence my suggestion above that this is just a regular GET.
If you want more control, then check out the FileDownload (40) example. That has a generic "ServeDocument" procedure in the app for serving files.
An API method will return a JSON or XML response - and of course any binary in there would need to be appropriately encoded at the very least for Json or XML.
I recommend Base64 because that's easier.
Cheers
Bruce

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Refresh NWB Header
« Last post by rupertvz on May 22, 2025, 01:22:22 PM »Thank you Osquiabro,
I've tried what you've suggested, but the memory-form does not seem to get focus - after a record is added in the NWB under the memory-form.
Thus GotFocusBack embed is not firing. Any ideas?

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Hide Webcam after photo is taken - SOLVED
« Last post by rjolda on May 22, 2025, 07:45:05 AM »HI
With Bruce's help I found out that the TakePicture button is dedicated to javascript which runs and WILL NOT SEND a value to the server.
By putting the hide condition and then the refresh fields in the WEBCAM field! That was the trick.

And why not read the file, convert to base64 for transfer purposes and then decode and save it in the format the client want?

« Last post by rjolda on May 22, 2025, 02:06:17 AM »Hi Bruce,
My Webcam field (equate AON:ThisPicture) has the following hide statement:
Hide if Clarion: p_web.GSV('PhotoDone') ='YES'
I have the AON:ThisPicture value in the Reset box for TakePhoto button. The Take Photo button also sets: p_web.SSV('PhotoDone') ='YES')

I'll try to make it a little clearer.
I have some static ftp files that I need to expose via a REST api.
I'm aware that I can BASE64 encode them but the client would prefer them as "files". This is where I'm a bit confused how to.

*how* are you trying to make it "not display" ?
