jsonrpc.js on mysqueezebox.com

Hi there

I hate to ask this question - but I've found no answer to this one in the forum:
Where does jsonrpc.js or its equivalent reside on mysqueezebox.com?
And on which port is it listening?

Cheers
Sebastian

Hello Handy

I've been trying to get in touch with that same address.
On port 80 and 9000 - no successs.
The requests simply time out.

Username and password are the same as in the www portal login?

I just post the HTTP command I'm sending out.
Maybe you'll see something:

#Connect to: [79.125.21.137:9000]

POST /jsonrpc.js HTTP/1.1
Host:79.125.21.137
Content-type:application/json
Content-length:72
Authorization: Basic c2JAc2NpYXRlYy5kZTphdXRvNDQ=

{"id":1,"method":"slim.request","params":["",["serverstatus","0","10"]]}

On port 80 I am getting the following response:

[...]
Location: /user/login?redirect=jsonrpc.js
Content-Length: 104
Status: 302
<html><body><p>This item has moved <a href="/user/login?redirect=jsonrpc.js">here</a>.</p></body></html>

It's much easier to debug when you have at least confidence in the server address :-)

You'll need to send the session cookie with every request to jsonrpc. I actually don't know whether there is an authentication call on that interface. But you can authenticate against the /user/login url you have been redirected to. Just POST username and password (look at that page's source for details). If you do it in a ajax call, your app won't load all the images anyway.

Hi Michael

I am doing no ajax. I'm just sending a HTTP POST request to the jsonrpc.js script. The content of the request being my json string.

I was hoping mysqueezebox.com respsonds in the same way my SB server respsonds. I.e. in json.

I am still not sure whether this is supposed to be on port 80 0or 9000?

Port 80, but you need to be logged in to MySB by sending the proper session cookie.

**Locuth** · 2010-12-14, 11:37

So if I understand you allright I need to request the login page
for example like so:
http://www.mysqueezebox.com/user/log...ord=mypassword

And than retrieve the session cookie from the server response.
That cookie needs to be sent along future requests to jsonrpc.js

I am treading new ground here -
please bear with me...

According to Wikipedia the login-page request should return something like:

----
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-type: text/html
Set-Cookie: name=value
...
----

And I will than have to build my jsonrpc requests like so:
-----
GET /jsonrpc.js HTTP/1.1
Host: www.mysqueezebox.com
Cookie: name=value
Accept: */*
----

Does that make sense?

Make it an http POST call, not a GET.

Correct.
