Hi,
I have a device (camera Foscam FI9821w v2 to be exact), from which the status can be queried by executing a CGI command:

Code: Select all

http://192.168.1.2/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi&usr=admin&pwd=123&cmd=ABC

a webpage is opened which shows the status, eg.:

Code: Select all

<CGI_Result>
     <result>0</result>
     <isDHCP>1</isDHCP>
     <ip>192.168.1.8</ip>
     <gate>0.0.0.0</gate>
     <mask>255.255.255.0</mask>
</CGI_Result>

I am looking for a way to use this info in LUA.

Anyone know how to do it ?
A short example / guide would be helpfull.

Thanks, Mark

The only way in LUA that I know is to go via a file (but I am not a LUA expert):

os.execute('curl "http://192.168.1.2/cgi . . . (your cgi command) . . ." > /home/pi/xxx.txt')

then in LUA open the file and read what you need.

what exactly in the response do you want, none of that information looks usefull..

you can issue http get requests blindly without parsing the response, there are a few ways to do it.. OpenURL in lua is one way, blocky has the same function and switches can also make requests to url's.
