That it would. But it would be lots of coding. And you would need to setup Client and Server which unless this guy wants a challenge and a half, I doubt he or anyone will do it.

[BillLuvsU]

I don't think it would be that hard. I mean, Java can capture mouse clicks and where it clicked right? So just pass it through a submit or something that can be retrieved with _GetPost and call a MouseClick( ). Maybe evan make a new function in the WebBasedAutoIt to bypass the GetPost( ) step. That's half the problem done right there. Then for the other half Have a form on the bottom with an input box, then a submit button that says "Send" or somthing. The use _GetPost to get the data and do a Send( $post ). There, wouldn't be too hard.

[James]

You try to do it then.

[BillLuvsU]

Would but I can't develop at this point and time. Especially can't make my own server.

[daslick]

actually I am working on a client / server that allows u to send clicks... which I will share my code w/ eventually... but I still can't get the line to work. I don't get an error when pressing ALT+f5, but it doesn't output a screenshot either.

HELP?

I got it to work... for some reason it only works when it is compiled.. ? is that normal?

I'll change my code and work on the client server for clicking and typing right away.

If you mean screencapture func , then nope it's not normal, I'm using the function running your script from scite in beta autoit.

Hey,

I got it working! Its great but one thing is everytime it takes and displays a screenshot the image is placed in the middle and it gets smaller.

Now it works I can say you worked hard on it.

Thanks,

Secure

Edit: ok, this is what happens. When the page refreshes the original screenshot is made smaller but it isn't removed. Also your link is not working.

Edit2: The problem doesnt occur on FireFox! GET FIREFOX!

I'm using firefox and I get the image in image in image in image and so only when I view the the capture from the same pc that I'm running the server on. Reason for this is cause it's a bit like pointing a video camera that's plugged into a tv at the same tv it's plugged into.. Your looking a picture that's looking at itself .. infinate loop....

Use another pc to log into the server and you get the single picture refreshed at regular intervals..

On another note:

Be nice if you could use some form of frame server for animated gifs.. buffer the screen shots as gifs then just stream the updated frames. Then there'd be no refresh , you just watch a gif playing in the browser continually. ( I was only brain storming the idea and I don't think it's posible)

I started looking at avisynth as it has a TCPDeliver filter

The filter will enable you to send clips over your network. You can connect several clients to the same machine.

In combination with ImageReader / ImageSource filter I thought you may be able to stream 10 frames a second to a web browser. but it all just get's to complex for my understanding.

Be nice to be able to steam the images instead of refreshing the browser every so many secs.

Cheers

Well... compiling works... so whatever.

I'm working on changing the server to where it will serve the actual file requested... instead of just spitting out the html and jpg.

[daslick]

my server now allows downloading of any file on my hd...

example:

http://68.113.199.134/C:/Users/Devin/Desktop/example.txt

Try it out and let me know what you think... I'll probably finish the mouse click thing and keyboard commands in a week or so.

[James]

Lol.. I am a N00B! I was watching a screenshot of a screenshot of a screenshot etc. Lol...

[daslick]

btw the link has changed to http://68.113.199.134/index.html for the log/screenshot viewer

[James]

Lol, it refreshes the same image, over and over. Lol.. Cool

I'm a n00b, sorry, you stopped the program.. I dont know why I am so stupid, could be because I'm ill.

stopped the program? I'm at school right now and I was able to access a file on my computer just 3 minutes ago...

[James]

What I mean was, nothing was happening.

[BillLuvsU]

I can't get your server. You sure it's on?

[BrettF]

I can't get your server. You sure it's on?

Neither can I..........

To get stop the screen shot in screen shot i added a file delete call for the snapshot file.

I added it at line 23. Right between the else and the _ScreenCap_Capture call.

expandcollapse popup

#include <A3LScreenCap.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <Inet.au3>
TCPStartup()
If @error Then Exit
Global $recv, $output
$listen = TCPListen(@IPAddress1, 80, 20)
If $listen = -1 Then Exit
$snapfile = @ScriptDir & '\screenshot.jpg'
While 1
    $sock = TCPAccept($listen)
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $sock >= 0 Then
        $recv = _SockRecv($sock)
        If StringInStr($recv, "GET") Then $recv = _StringBetween($recv, "GET /", " HTTP/1.1")
        If $recv <> "" Then
            $file = FileOpen($snapfile, 0)
            If $file <> - 1 Then
                $output = FileRead($file)
            EndIf
            FileClose($file)
        Else
            If FileExists($snapfile) Then FileDelete($snapfile)
            _ScreenCap_Capture(@ScriptDir & "\screenshot.jpg")
            $output = '<html><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2"><center><a href="screenshot.jpg"><img src="screenshot.jpg" alt="screenshot" height="95%"></a><BR>Time=' & @HOUR & ':' & @MIN & ':' & @SEC & '<BR></center></html>'
        EndIf
        TCPSend($sock, $output)
        TCPCloseSocket($sock)
    EndIf
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
Func _SockRecv($iSocket, $iBytes = 10000)
    Local $sData = ''
    While $sData = ''
        $sData = TCPRecv($iSocket, $iBytes)
    WEnd
    Return $sData
EndFunc
Func _StringBetween($string, $begin, $end)
    Local $_begin, $_end
    $_begin = StringSplit($string, $begin, 1)
    If Not @error Then
        $_end = StringSplit($_begin[2], $end, 1)
        If Not @error Then
            Return ($_end[1])
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndFunc

That is not the problem. The problem will still occur if you are viewing your own computer.

Deleting the screenshot before it is overwritten anyways will not change anything.

Very cool work, people. I like the Auto3Lib version just because it doesn't need a DLL download. I found the HTTP server works great - when you connect to it and view the page it will create a 'screen-within-screen' effect, getting a new depth of screen with each refresh, like pointing a video camera with the output to a TV towards the TV - if the shutter speed is slow enough you can see the screens scrolling out.

[daslick]

Amazing update! I got (I believe) a working directory structure going...

You can now browse my computer via my ip address...

http://68.113.199.134/C: will allow you to view all files and folders in that folder to browse and download!

I will post the code here in a few minutes.
