= Synopsis =
**owlps-udp-to-http** [ **-v** | **-q** ] [ **-l** //result_port// ] [ **-t** //http_port// ]
= Description =
**OwlPS UDP-to-HTTP** receives results from OwlPS Positioner on a UDP
socket and allows a client to retrieve them with the HTTP protocol. Only
the last result received for a given mobile terminal is memorised and
provided to the HTTP client. The UDP socket listens on //result_port//,
which default value is the default port to which OwlPS Positioner sends
the results. The TCP (HTTP) socket listens on //http_port//.
The client is expected to send an HTTP GET request, with a request
string as the first variable value (the variable's name does not
matter). For example, a correct request is detected if you load
http://localhost:8080/?request=ReadSimpleResults (assuming the host
running this program is localhost).
The HTTP requests currently implemented are listed bellow.
== “ReadResults” request ==
Answer in case of error:
``` Results;NOK;Explanation
``Explanation`` is "NoResult" if no results were received from OwlPS
Positioner yet.
Normal answer:
``` Results;OK;Nb_results;Result_1;…;Result_n
With:
- ``Nb_results``: the number of results in the answer (number of mobile
terminals).
- ``Result_i``: a result, following this format:
``` Mobile_MAC;Request_type;Request_timestamp;Nb_algo;Algo_1;…;Algo_n
- ``Nb_algo``: the number of algorithms in the result.
- ``Algo_i``: an algorithm, following this format:
``` Algorithm_name;X;Y;Z;Error;Area_name
- ``Error``: the distance from the true coordinates of the mobile, if
known; -1 if unknown.
- ``Area_name``: the name of the area or room in which the mobile is
(may be empty).
== “ReadSimpleResults” request ==
Answer in case of error:
``` SimpleResults;NOK;Explanation
Normal answer:
``` SimpleResults;OK;Nb_results;Result_1;…;Result_n
With:
- ``Nb_results``: the number of results in the answer (number of
mobile terminals).
- ``Result_i``: a result, following this format:
``` Mobile_MAC;X;Y;Z;Area_name
- ``Area_name``: the name of the area or room in which the mobile is
(may be empty).
== Unknown request ==
If a unknown request is received, the answer format is:
``` UnknownRequest;NOK
= Options =
: **-h**
Print help message and exit.
: **-V**
Print version information and exit.
: **-v**
Turn on verbose mode (default).
: **-q**
Do not print informational messages.
: **-l** //result_port//
Port on which the results are received (default: 9910).
: **-t** //http_port//
Port on which the HTTP server listens (default: 8080).

***********************************************************************
*
* This is the main source file of OwlPS UDP-to-HTTP.
*
* This program listens for results sent by OwlPS Positioner on a UDP
* socket, and listens for a client on a TCP socket. The client is
* expected to send an HTTP GET request, with the request string as the
* first variable value (the variable name does not matter).
* For example, a correct request is detected if you load
* http://localhost:8080/?request=ReadSimpleResults
* (assuming the host running this program is localhost).
*
* The default UDP listening port is the port on which OwlPS Positioner
* sends the result by default, and the default TCP (HTTP) listening
* port is 8080.
*
* Only the last result read from the positioning server, for each
* mobile, is memorised and provided to the HTTP client.
*
* The HTTP requests currently implemented are listed bellow.
*
* ** Request "ReadResults" **
* Answer in case of error:
* Results;NOK;Explanation
* Normal answer:
* Results;OK;Nb_results;Result_1;;Result_n
* Nb_results is the number of results in the answer (number of mobiles).
* Result_i follows this format:
* Mobile_MAC;Request_type;Request_timestamp;Nb_algo;Algo_1;;Algo_n
* Nb_algo is the number of algorithms in the result.
* Algo_i follows this format:
* Algorithm_name;X;Y;Z;Error;Area_name
* Error is the distance from the true coordinates of the mobile, if
* known; if unknown, Error is set to -1.
* Area_name is the name of the area or room in which the mobile is (may
* be empty).
*
* ** Unknown request **
* If a unknown request is received, the answer format is:
* UnknownRequest;NOK
*
* ** Request "ReadSimpleResults" **
* Answer in case of error:
* SimpleResults;NOK;Explanation
* Normal answer:
* SimpleResults;OK;Nb_results;Result_1;;Result_n
* Nb_results is the number of results in the answer (number of mobiles).
* Result_i follows this format:
* Mobile_MAC;X;Y;Z;Area_name
* Area_name is the name of the area or room in which the mobile is (may
* be empty).
* This is the main source file of OwlPS UDP-to-HTTP, a program that
* allows a client to retrieve results from OwlPS Positioner through
* HTTP.
