Hidden form fields are aded to the page attribute buffer like text form fields so there's no need for special treatment in formsubmit(). However they are not added as widgets to the window so there's no user interaction.
from uint16_t which breaks builds of WITH_COAP=3 or 7.
This patch changes the 03 and 07 engine to int32_t.
An alternate fix would be to switch out the type in erbuim.h based on
WITH_COAP.
Or, maybe better, would be to drop old COAP versions.
This patch updates the DNS resolver to support IPv6 and introduces an
improved API for looking up DNS entries. This patch also adds optional
support for mDNS lookups and responses to the DNS resolver.
Here is a quick summary of the changes:
* Added support for IPv6 lookups.
* DNS queries now honor record expiration.
* Added support for mDNS, compatible with "Bonjour".
* Implemented a new lookup api, `resolv_lookup2()`, which provides
more information about the state of the record(error, expired,
looking-up, etc.).
About mDNS/Bonjour Support
--------------------------
This patch adds basic support for mDNS/Bonjour, which allows you to
refer to the name of a device instead of its IP address. This is
incredibly convenient for IPv6 addresses because they tend to be very
long and difficult to remember. It is especially important for
link-local IPv6 addresses, since not all programs support the '%'
notation for indicating a network interface (required on systems with
more than one network interface to disambiguate).
In other words, instead of typing in this:
* `http://[fe80::58dc:d7ed:a644:628f%en1]/`
You can type this instead:
* `http://contiki.local/`
Huge improvement, no?
The convenience extends beyond that: this mechanism can be used for
nodes to talk to each other based on their human-readable names instead
of their IPv6 addresses. So instead of a switch on
`aaaa::58dc:d7ed:a644:628f` triggering an actuator on
`aaaa::ed26:19c1:4bd2:f95b`, `light-switch.local` can trigger the
actuator on `living-room-lights.local`.
What you need to do to be able to look up `.local` names on your
workstation depends on a few factors:
* Your machine needs to be able to send and receive multicast packets
to and from the LoWPAN. You can do this easily with the Jackdaw
firmware on an RZUSBStick. If you have a border router, you will need
it to bridge the mDNS multicast packets across the border.
* If you are using a Mac, you win. All Apple devices support mDNS
lookups.
* If you are using Windows, you can install Apple's Bonjour for Windows
package. (This may be already installed on your machine if you have
installed iTunes) After you install this you can easily do `.local`
lookups.
* If you are using a Unix machine, you can install Avahi.
The default hostname is set to `contiki.local.`. You can change the
hostname programmatically by calling `resolv_set_hostname()`. You can
change the default hostname by changing `CONTIKI_CONF_DEFAULT_HOSTNAME`.
You may disable mDNS support by setting `RESOLV_CONF_SUPPORTS_MDNS` to
`0`.
---------------------------------
core/net/resolv: `resolv_lookup2()` -> `resolv_lookup()`
Note that this patch should fix several `resolv_lookup()` bugs
that already existed. There were many cases where `resolv_lookup()`
was being called and the IP address ignored, but later code
assumed that the IP address had been fetched... ANYWAY, those
should be fixed now.

examples/udp-ipv6: Updated client to use MDNS to lookup the server.
Also updated the Cooja regression test simulation.
- Up to now the web browser used several fixed size arrays to hold the various types attribute data of the web page. This turned out to be way to inflexible for any non-trivial web page. Therefore now all attribute data is stored in a single buffer one after the other as they arrive from the parser only occupying the memory actually needed. This allows for pages with many links with rather short URLs as well as pages with few link with long URLs as well as pages with several simple forms as well as pages with one form with many form inputs.
- Using the actual web page buffer to hold the text buffers of text entry fields was in general a cool idea but in reality it is often necessary to enter text longer than the size of the text entry field. Therefore the text buffer is now stored in the new unified attribute data buffer.
- Splitting up the process of canonicalizing a link URL and actually navigating to the resulting URL allowed to get rid of the 'tmpurl' buffer used during form submit. Now the form action is canonicalized like a usual link, then the form input name/value pairs are written right into the 'url' buffer and afterwards the navigation is triggered.
- Support for the 'render states' was completely removed. The only actually supported render state was centered output. The new unified attribute buffer would have complicated enumerating all widgets added to the page in order to adjust their position. Therefore I decided to drop the whole feature as the <center> tag is barely used anymore and newer center attributes are to hard to parse.
In general it seems a bad idea to have two http-strings.c files as this precludes to have them both in the Contiki library. However as it stands it seems most reasonable to have one http-strings.c file be a clean superset of all usecases in order to allow them to run together in a single binary. As webserver/http-strings.c already contained strings not present in webbrowser/http-strings.c it seems reasonable to consider webserver/http-strings.c as the superset described. From that perspective it is appropriate to remove all strings from webbrowser/http-strings.c which are not used by the web browser in order to save memory otherwise wasted.
The tag <div> (in contrast to the tag <span>) is normally used to denote content placed on a line by its own. So it makes sense to trigger a newline when </div> is processed.
The "normal" web is moving forward quickly reducing the interoperability of the Contiki web browser to nearly zero. The Mobile Web fits the capabilities of the Contiki web browser much better. Modern smartphones don't need the Mobile Web anymore but there are large areas in world with rather low end mobile phones and limited mobile bandwidth where the Mobile Web will be necessary for quite some time.
From that perspective it is reasonable to increase the Contiki web browser's interoperability with the Mobie Web - namely WAP 2.0 aka XHTML MP. XHTML MP is delivered as MIME types 'application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml' or 'application/xhtml+xml'. Therefore we (try to) parse the document if the MIME type contains the substring 'html' (which is true 'text/html' too).
declarations of functions for setting and getting a node ID number, a
functionality that exists on many platforms. Since this functionality
was not considered part of the Contiki core, each platform defined its
own node-id.h file. This commit attempts to clean this up by
collecting the node-id.h into a core/sys/node-id.h file that replaces
the old node-id.h files from the platform directories.
* Simple HTTP webservice with support for both receiving and sending HTTP requests.
* json-ws example that optionally push sensor data to COSM over IPv6.
Although a simple solution the recently introduced approach to just not listen to incoming connetions if there's already one has the downside that one doesn't know if a connection fails because the server is down or becuase there's a connection.
Therefore now connections are always accepted but after sending a message to the user and waiting a few seconds they are closed.
The appstate is used used in a somewhat unusual way here: The one and only "active" connection has an appstate of 0. For all other connections the appstate is initially set to 1. Then it is increased on every uIP poll until it reaches 10, which triggers the connection close. This somewhat hacky approach allows to keep track of the rejected sessions without any additional state variables and/or timers.
- PETSCII sending support
- Option to customize shell prompt and banner
- Stop all running commands on shell close
- New 'exit' and 'quit' commands to close shell
The 6502-specific LC implementation doesn't allow for scope-local vaiables between PT_BEGIN/PROCESS_BEGIN/PSOCK_BEGIN and PT_BEGIN/PROCESS_END/PSOCK_END.
For best results, use a Z1 Starter Platform with an sht11 sensor plugged
in the ziglet port.
Keep in mind that the light-sensor is mapped to the potentiometer in this platform.
XXX Tracing why powertrace does not show anything different from 0.
If we use .htm instead of .html then we should also check for .htm instead of .html when it comes to MIME type setting.
Interestingly this didn't show up when testing with Internet Explorer as that one just ignores the wrong MIME type and displays the HTML page as expected.
Thanks to Shane Wood for pointing out the issue!
functions for converting between host and network byte order. These
names are the de facto standard names for this functionality because
of the original BSD TCP/IP implementation. But they cause problems for
uIP/Contiki: some platforms define these names themselves (Mac OS,
most notably), causing compilation problems for Contiki on those
platforms.
This commit changes all htons to uip_htons instead. Same goes for
htonl, ntohs, and ntohl. All-caps versions as well.
- Made sure that the "low level" keystroke events are only handled if no dialog is displayed.
- Changed anonymous to 'anonymous'.
- Added option to run in fullscreen windowless mode by replacing in that scenario the dialogs with windows.
Both apps/webbrowser and apps/webserver contain a http-strings.c. It seems unclear to me if the original intention was to have them identical (but then they should have been factored out in the first place) or if they were only very similiar by chance.
Anyway, currently webserver/http-strings.c is a clean superset of webbrowser/http-strings.c so if a project has both HTTP server and client parts it is desirable to use the webserver variant. In the case of apps/shell this can be archived by adding webserver *before* webbrowser to the APPS variable.
This seems like a hack to me - but the whole shell build qualifies as hack, doesn't it ;-)
out power data for all incoming and outgoing packets (which causes
problems when there is much traffic), the power data for the packets
is instead logged and periodically printed out in aggregated form.
This is especially useful for the cc65-based targets as it ain't possible there to "just change into the wwwroot directory and start the webserver using its pathname".
allows a program to register an 8-bit service ID that gets
disseminated to the entire network, as long as a servreg-hack daemon
is running on all neighbors. Other nodes can look up the service ID to
figure out what nodes in the network offer this service.
This is officially labeled as a "hack" so that we don't get too comfy
with it; this hack is not the future of service discovery and
advertisement in Contiki.
