Lightstreamer communication with Autoit - (Moved)


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I want to write an Autoit program, to receive live streaming data from an Lightstreamer server.

If I start following command in cmd.exe on Windows10 PC, it works and the server reply.

curl -v -N -X POST -d "LS_adapter_set=WELCOME&LS_cid=mgQkwtwdysogQz2BJ4Ji%20kOj2Bg&LS_send_sync=false" http://push.lightstreamer.com/lightstreamer/create_session.txt?LS_protocol=TLCP-2.1.0

But how can I post and receive live stream with Autoit ?

I already so far, that I can send a POST or GET message to a server, but this kind of communication ends the connection, after the server answered. No streaming data can be received after it.
I tryed also a socket communication, but it also not works, because I can define there only an IP Address but nothing like "http://push.lightstreamer.com/lightstreamer/create_session.txt?LS_protocol=TLCP-2.1.0". It seems a socket communication is usable only for direct connection to a server over IP and Port Numbers.

Please send me an Autoit example how to solve this problem.

THX!

..a can of worms. HTTP is one thing but then you'll wanna do all this with HTTPS and that is another can of worms. You may want to do WebSockets and there we go again.
When ppl ask me what coding language I use, my answer is "the one that can get the project out of my hair the easiest".
AutoIt my not be that language for this, right now.
Now if you ( or someone ), wanna translate WebSockets to TCP/IP in AutoIt ( and that is perfectly possible ), then yes, have a go in AutoIt. ( my 2 cents )

Hi,

Thx, Danp2 !

WinHttp UDF is a good idea, I tested it, seems to work fine with http sites, but does not work with https.

I tryed this:

If I connect to: http://www.google.com it works, data is coming.

But if I want to connect with it to https://www.google.com

nothing comes.

Why not ? Does the WinHTTP really not support https sites ?

Can you recommend me something similar, an UDF which is supporting https or how can I connect with WinHTTp https sites ?

THX !

It is interesting.

My code is this:

;*****************************************************************
#include "WinHttp.au3"

Local $hOpen = _WinHttpOpen()

Local $hConnect = _WinHttpConnect($hOpen, "https://www.google.com")
Local $hRequest = _WinHttpOpenRequest($hConnect, Default, "")
_WinHttpSendRequest($hRequest)
_WinHttpReceiveResponse($hRequest)
$sHeader = _WinHttpQueryHeaders($hRequest)

MsgBox(0, "Header", $sHeader)

_WinHttpCloseHandle($hRequest)
_WinHttpCloseHandle($hConnect)
_WinHttpCloseHandle($hOpen)

If I open: "http://www.google.com"   I get an answer, but if I open "https://www.google.com", no answer.

Why ? Where is the failure ?

THX !

THX Danp2 but this did not help.
Still no answer if I open: _WinHttpConnect($hOpen, "https://www.google.com", $INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTPS_PORT)

But if I open _WinHttpConnect($hOpen, "http://www.google.com",1234) is working,
I mean, it seems not to affect anything, what I write at the end for $iServerPort. It is working with 1234 or with 5555, does not matter, what I write there.
Do you have any other idea ?

Could you try my script, if it is working/not working same way at you ?

THX !

Try this version:

#include "WinHttp.au3"
Local $hOpen = _WinHttpOpen()
Local $hConnect = _WinHttpConnect($hOpen, "www.google.com")
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $hConnect = ' & $hConnect & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

Local $hRequest = _WinHttpOpenRequest($hConnect, Default, "/")
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $hRequest = ' & $hRequest & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

_WinHttpSendRequest($hRequest)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

_WinHttpReceiveResponse($hRequest)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

$sHeader = _WinHttpQueryHeaders($hRequest)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $sHeader = ' & $sHeader & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

_WinHttpCloseHandle($hRequest)
_WinHttpCloseHandle($hConnect)
_WinHttpCloseHandle($hOpen)

My problem is not, that I can not open google with https, this address is only for testing.
I want to open an other site, which does not work with http, only with https, that´s why I am testing with "https://www.google.com"
I guess, as soon it works with "https://www.google.com", my other link will also work.

Please help to solve this.

THX !

Ok ...got you.    what about this version:

#include "WinHttp.au3"
Local $hOpen = _WinHttpOpen()
Local $hConnect = _WinHttpConnect($hOpen, "https://www.google.com")
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $hConnect = ' & $hConnect & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

$hRequest = _WinHttpSimpleSendSSLRequest($hConnect, "GET", "/")
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $hRequest = ' & $hRequest & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

$sHeader = _WinHttpQueryHeaders($hRequest)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $sHeader = ' & $sHeader & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

_WinHttpCloseHandle($hRequest)
_WinHttpCloseHandle($hConnect)
_WinHttpCloseHandle($hOpen)

That´s fine, https server is answering ! Thank you very much.

I want to connect a server, getting real time data.

For that my code is continuing after Local $sHeader = _WinHttpQueryHeaders($hRequest)
with:

____________________________________________________________________

While 1

   $nMsgArray = GUIGetMsg(1)

   _WinHttpReceiveResponse($hRequest)

   If _WinHttpQueryDataAvailable($hRequest) = 1 Then
      $data=_WinHttpSimpleReadData($hRequest)
      GUICtrlSetData ($ReturnAnswer_LabelID, $data)               ;Writing data onto a label to visualise it
   EndIf

   If $nMsgArray[0]<>0 Then   ; Exiting if window was closed

      Switch $nMsgArray[0]

        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete($hGUI)
            Exit

      EndSwitch

   EndIf

WEnd

This reports me continously, that data has been received, but there is coming nothing.

Somehow the <   If _WinHttpQueryDataAvailable($hRequest) = 1  Then   >  part does not work.

I have red in the WinHTTP.au3 comments, that _WinHttpReceiveResponse($hRequest) must be called before _WinHttpQueryDataAvailable() will be called, but it semms not to work.

Do you have an idea, how can I test if data has been received and read data into a $variable ?

Many THX!

If you look at the coding for _WinHttpSimpleReadData, it is already calling _WinHttpQueryDataAvailable. I also think you need to drop the call to _WinHttpReceiveResponse. Does this work for you?

While 1

   $nMsgArray = GUIGetMsg(1)

   $data=_WinHttpSimpleReadData($hRequest)
   If Not @error Then
      GUICtrlSetData ($ReturnAnswer_LabelID, $data)               ;Writing data onto a label to visualise it
   EndIf

   If $nMsgArray[0]<>0 Then   ; Exiting if window was closed

      Switch $nMsgArray[0]

        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete($hGUI)
            Exit

      EndSwitch

   EndIf

WEnd

Hi, good idea, but also this suggested version from you:

________________________________________________________________________________

$data=_WinHttpSimpleReadData($hRequest)
   If Not @error Then
      GUICtrlSetData ($ReturnAnswer_LabelID, $data)               ;Writing data onto a label to visualise it
      MsgBox(0, "Data", $data)
   EndIf

_______________________________________________________________________________
is still signalising, as if a data would have been received, but nothing comes.
It means @error is every time <>0, and MsgBox(0, "Data", $data) is coming up in every cycle.
I know well, that I sent to the server such a message, which is not complete, so the server would not send me anything.
Server sends me only a Header and a type of "Hello, I am here" message, that he understood my message, but does not send me anything.

I tryed and this solution works:

If Stringlen($data)<>0 Then...

It seems, that "If Not @error Then..." does not work.
In WinHTTP.au3 at  _WinHttpSimpleReadData
if no datareceived, it returns:    Return SetError(2, 0, $vData)
It means @error should be 2 if no data came.

Bit interesting, that also
If @error<>2 Then...
does not work. I do not know, why.

Main thing, I have now a solution for it.

THX for helping !

Hi,

I need more help please.

I want to create a session on lightstreamer server.

If I write following in cmd.exe on windows:

 

curl -v -N -X POST -d "LS_adapter_set=WELCOME&LS_cid=mgQkwtwdysogQz2BJ4Ji%20kOj2Bg&LS_send_sync=false" http://push.lightstreamer.com/lightstreamer/create_session.txt?LS_protocol=TLCP-2.1.0

 

I get a response from the server.


CONOK,session number, x, x, *

But if I run following script below, I do not get back anything. Why not ? Where is the failure ?

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Local $hOpen = _WinHttpOpen()
Local $hConnect = _WinHttpConnect($hOpen, "http://push.lightstreamer.com/lightstreamer/create_session.txt?LS_protocol=TLCP-2.1.0")
Local $hRequest = _WinHttpOpenRequest($hConnect, "POST", "LS_adapter_set=WELCOME&LS_cid=mgQkwtwdysogQz2BJ4Ji%20kOj2Bg&LS_send_sync=false")

Local $sHeader = _WinHttpQueryHeaders($hRequest)

While 1

   $nMsgArray = GUIGetMsg(1)

   $data=_WinHttpSimpleReadData($hRequest)
   If Stringlen($data)<>0 Then
      GUICtrlSetData ($ReturnAnswer_LabelID, $data)               ;Writing data onto a label to visualise it
   EndIf

  If $nMsgArray[0]<>0 Then

      Switch $nMsgArray[0]

        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ; If X was pressed on the upper right corner
            GUIDelete($hGUI)
            Exit

      EndSwitch

   EndIf

WEnd

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Can you please test the curl line abowe and send me a correct script, which gives me the CONOK answer including the sessionID ?

THX !

@Cinemizer I'm not an expert with the WinHttp UDF, but I get the feeling that you are doing a couple of things incorrectly --

- You are opening the request, but not actually sending it. See example in help file for _WinHttpOpenRequest where there is a call to _WinHttpSendRequest

- Not sure that you can use the standard and "simple" functions interchangeably.

HTH, Dan

P.S. When you post code in the future please use Code tags - see here how to do it.  Then you get a scrolling box, syntax coloring, etc
