Topic: NANO SD and VP2 HTTP error

[lobsterman]

Running only one HTTP service, to upload to a Saratoga Templates site. All appears to work properly but the Live Data tab display this odd message:

HTTP Upload:   2019-09-08 22:46:31 Error: 2019-09-08 22:46:31 <p>Success.</p> (1 more tries, next in 30 secs)

Is this usual?

If this HTTP upload is for the conds.php with the template, try changing (in Meteobridge) the Success message expected to

Code: [Select]

<p>Success.</p> instead of just

Code: [Select]

Success.

<p>Success.</p> instead of just

Success.

That fixed it, though I don't understand why!

Perhaps the NANO doesn't remove HTML tags (<p> and </p>) from the returned status string before comparing.  The conds.php script hasn't changed, and the old, simple 'Success.' compare works fine on non-NANO Meteobridge, so I think it was a NANO Meteobridge change to NOT do a strip_tags() function on the result, then compare the string.

I had wonderd if you could add a qualifier to the "Success" report; for example: "Success uploading to conds.php" but it doesn't seem to be possible.

It's easy enough to change the 'success' return string from conds.php .. however, it wasn't meant to be viewed by humans -- it was meant to be read by Meteobridge as a signal that the HTTP request had completed normally.  The word 'Success.' was used as it's simple and short.  The return is embedded in HTML, so the <p>Success.</p> is the actual return string.   Prior versions of Meteobridge had no issue just looking for 'Success.' in the return .. the NANO version seems to want that to be the entire return, so was confused by <p>Success.</p> as the value.  Now that you've switched to looking for '<p>Success.</p>' as the value, Meteobridge NANO is again happy and gives a nice green check mark indicating all completed normally on the Live Data status.

Thanks Ken, much appreciated and good to know the actual details.
