hi

i’m trying change status of zoneminder with my veralite, but is it possible with lua?

ubuntu server 10.04 only zoneminder (php,ssh,…) is run (no samba, curl, …): 192.168.1.120
192.168.1.120/zm/index.php?view=watch&mid1 for webcam
192.168.1.120/zm/index.php?view=watch&mid2 for foscam

i’ve tried :

1)with identification on zoneminder

luup.inet.wget("http://192.168.1.120/zm/index.php?view=watch&mid1&newFunction=Modect&newEnabled=1&user=xxxxxx&pass=xxxxxx") : no change
2)without identification on zoneminder

luup.inet.wget("http://192.168.1.120/zm/index.php?view=watch&mid1&newFunction=Modect&newEnabled=1") : no change
3)

[code]local http = require(“socket.http”)

– 5 Second timeout
http.TIMEOUT = 5

– The return parameters are in a different order from luup.inet.wget(…)
result, status = http.request(“http://login:motdepasse@192.168.1.120/zm/index.php?view=watch&mid1&newFunction=Modect&newEnabled=1”)[/code]

no change

  1. with ssh?

os.execute("ssh user@192.168.1.120 & sudo zmpkg.pl surveillance") no change

so is it possible or not at all?

thank for your attention

This works for me:

[code]local http = require(“socket.http”)
local ltn12 = require(“ltn12”)

local response_body = {}
local request_body = “view=none&action=function&mid=1&newFunction=Monitor&newEnabled=1”

local body, code, headers, status = http.request{
url = “http://192.168.1.65/zm/index.php/”,
method = “POST”,
headers = {
[“Accept”] = “/”,
[“Content-Length”] = string.len(request_body),
[“Content-Type”] = “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”
},
source = ltn12.source.string(request_body),
sink = ltn12.sink.table(response_body)
}[/code]
