Loopback to webservice

[J V]

Hello,

I'm using a Virtual Input to have an up/down input-widget in the user-interface, but need to populate the value. I'm trying to use the webservices, which works from a browser:

http://user@password:miniserverIP/dev/sps/io/<inputname>/<value>

But I cannot seem to get this to work from a virtual output on the same miniserver. I think I've tried everything: post, get, miniserver://, http://, name of the object, name of the input (VI2), ... nothing I can send from the miniserver seems to set the value, from elsewhere it works fine...

Any thoughts?

Hello,
Did you try
Preferences (Virtual Output)
Address:

http://user@password:miniserverIP

Preferences (Virtual Output Command)
Command for On:

/dev/sps/io/<inputname>/<value>

HTTP methode for ON: GET
Use as digital output: not selected

That is what I was doing... I tried again but it does not work...
In LiveView I see that the output has the value, but the input never gets it...

It took me 2 hours yesterday, and half an hour today to suddenly realize that I have http://username@password:miniserverIP
Somehow I kept looking over this error...

Thanks you for your reply, it made me triple check everything.

Yes, this should work:

[URL="http://username@password:miniserverIP"]http://username:password@miniserverIP[/URL]

and that doesn't work:

[URL="http://username@password:miniserverIP"]http://username@assword:miniserverIP[/URL]

Yep... Weird how a person can keep reading over the same stupid time and time again, and it somehow does not register...
Your post told me that I was doing it conceptually right, so it had to be something stupid... Thanks

you're welcome
