Re: Private Channels Ending - What am I supposed to do?
I've been a huge supporter of Roku since almost the beginning. I have gifted countless Roku's to friends and family members and encouraged there use, because I thought they were the best choice of streaming devices. That hasn't really changed, but this new time limited beta policy will be the reason I switch to another platform. I've had a few private channels for years that only make sense in my home, ie home movie collection, that I'm very happy with and don't want to have find a third party solution to replace. Making me find a solution to a problem that hasn't existed in a very long while because you want to time bomb beta channels is not acceptable, so I'll most likely be saying good bye to my Rokus over time.4.9KViews4likes0Comments302 header bug
I'm guessing no one is looking at my old post so I figured I would try a new one. http://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=41082&start=0 Could the referenced link be a bug. and if so does anyone have a way to work around it on the roku side instead of the server side?4.6KViews0likes5CommentsRe: necessary data rewind wasn't possible
I found a temporary work around so I could finish my app, which is now done, but I doubt the content provider will let me publish it with the work around. Any help on how to read the headers that appear below the Location header in the 302 redirect response?4.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: necessary data rewind wasn't possible
Okay, once last piece of information. Here are the headers a reported by a good curl session < HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily < Date: Sat, 09 Jul 2011 02:40:48 GMT < Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 < Pragma: no-cache < Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT < Cache-Control: no-cache < Cache-Control: no-store < Location: http://me.com/data < Content-Language: en-US < Content-Length: 0 < Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=7388302826082408D7CE2D53B1273C76; Path=/ < Set-Cookie: sp_user=0a19790307e34bd43d8583e0c7db67f51cfade4df306c8casdfdsf9095de88b3997d76ac5875cbf0a49e68dd7c74bd5fef3208b538df6cc214a95514e89d828e6cf7867f03e1fe32acc00ab481fa643d59541cc209c4a87e661a8be9af2616f6e460757f3172deae7f611a84f3a2b3715e1bac8fcb0cf27ef; Domain=.me.com; Expires=Fri, 7 Oct 2011 02:40:49 GMT; Path=/; < Set-Cookie: NSC_tvqfsqbtt-bqq2.sfbm.dpn=ffffffffaf16e49f45525dddddd58455e445a4a4229a0;expires=Sat, 09-Jul-2011 02:55:49 GMT;path=/ < Connection: close < Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 < It appears with the roku I can see all the headers until it hits the Location: header. At that point I guess roku goes ahead and does the redirect and the later headers are not able to be read. I need to read those. Is this a bug or is there a way to get it working? I can confirm with a lan trace that the AsyncPost is actually working and the returning packet has the proper cookies saying I'm logged in. So the question is why can I not see the headers through code?4.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: necessary data rewind wasn't possible
So after looking at a lot of traces I think I have figured out what is going on. 1. Post to URL A with login credentials. (It is odd because the url I post to from the form action is the same url as the HTML for the login page) 2. Server responds with a 302 redirect and a set-cookie in the header of response I need the cookie from the 302 redirect, but when I look at what is returned I just see the cookies and data from the login page itself. Is that possible to get on the roku? The below works and shows the 302 redirect with the Set-Cookie in the header and then loads the proper data page. wget --post-data "name=me%40me.com&password=mypassword" http://my.com/login If I intentionally send the wrong credentials I get the following headers (GetString was at the top and just returned the full html, I cut it out to save space here): Cache-Control Cache-Control Connection Content-Language Content-Length Content-Type Date Expires Pragma Server Set-Cookie JSESSIONID=495C08A304A500954774853F187668A7; Path=/ Set-Cookie NSC_tvqfsqbtt-bqq2.sfbm.dpn=ffffffffaf16e4f145525d5f4f58455e445a4a4229a0;expires=Sat, 09-Jul-2011 01:41:56 GMT;path=/ But if I send the correct credentials to the login page I get the following headers (notice no Set-Cookies and GetString doesn't have any data): GetString: Cache-Control Cache-Control Date Expires Pragma Server Using wget if I send the correct credentials I get the following headers: HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily Date: Sat, 09 Jul 2011 01:09:25 GMT Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 Pragma: no-cache Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT Cache-Control: no-cache Cache-Control: no-store Location: http://me.com/login Content-Language: en-US Content-Length: 0 Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=C65945E3DCDC50F8C03F4B8F93232052; Path=/ Set-Cookie: sp_user=0a19790307e34bdfsddfasdfdsfasdfb67f51cfade4df306c8c7ca11a9095de88b3997d76ac5875cbf0a49e68dd7c74bd5fef3208b538df6cc214a95514e89d828e6cf7867f03e1fe32acc00ab481fa643d59541cc209c4a87e661a8be9af2616f6e460757f3172deae7f611a84f3a2bdd15e1bac8fcb0cf27ef; Domain=.me.com; Expires=Fri, 7 Oct 2011 01:09:26 GMT; Path=/; Set-Cookie: NSC_tvqfsqbtt-bqq2.sfbm.dpn=ffffadffaf16e48045525d5f4f5845fgddfg445a4a4229a0;expires=Sat, 09-Jul-2011 01:24:26 GMT;path=/ Connection: close Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Once again, any help is appreciated.4.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: necessary data rewind wasn't possible
Thanks, that was definitely a problem. Now I guess my problem is the post or the headers. The post continues to return the rewind message and the second url redirects back to the login page since it doesn't think it is logged in. Does the AsyncPost syntax look correct for a simple post form? Is there a way to increase the packet capture size of tcpdump on the roku or should I dig and try and find an old hub?4.2KViews0likes0Commentsnecessary data rewind wasn't possible
I cannot seem to figure out this problem. I am using AsyncPostFromString to login to a form that only allows posting via username and password. From the traces it appears to work, but I really need the HTML that is returned after a login. GetString always returns the rewind isn't possible error, which I have read on the boards is due to cookies. Since I have the headers for the login I go ahead and construct another http request and just use getString but it always hangs at that point. I'm stumped. If I could get the tcpdump on the roku to collect the full packets it would help, and it would help even more if I understood what the rewind isn't possible message really meant. This code could be totally wrong as I'm still trying to learn. Any help is appreciated. http = CreateObject("roUrlTransfer") port = CreateObject("roMessagePort") headers = CreateObject("roAssociativeArray") http.SetPort(port) http.SetUrl("http://myurl/login") resp = http.AsyncPostFromString("name=user&password=pass") 'Seems to work but full tcp would help message = wait(0,http.GetPort()) headers=message.GetResponseHeaders() for each mes in headers print mes next httptwo = CreateObject("roUrlTransfer") porttwo = CreateObject("roMessagePort") httptwo.SetHeaders(headers) httptwo.SetPort(porttwo) httptwo.SetUrl("http://myurl/data") resp=httptwo.GetToString() messagetwo = wait(0,httptwo.GetPort()) 'Hangs here print resp11KViews0likes8Comments
