Hosting a website

linzycumbia · 2011-01-29 09:39

I have scoured the forum looking for code that will host a website that has folders, css, html, javascript, images, video, compressed archives and many other filetypes. I want to put the files for my website on my microSD card. I tried the code located here: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?127340-Basic-GET-and-POST-Object-Updated-1-1-2011 but it did not work unless I removed all css and javascript files and I need both css and javascript to power my site. Is there any code already written that I may have overlooked in the forum? Is there any code available to do this?

Thanks in advance

The HttpRequest objects parses the directory structures as expected. There is a limited amount of stack space (you can increase this if needed) and the file names must be 8.3. The fat driver will choke otherwise.

You must add the appropriate content type to the WriteResponseHeader for example "content-type text/css". This working fine in IE. I had trouble in Firefox. I have not spent the time to figure out the issue with Firefox. Maybe you can?

BTW, there's a newer object on
http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?128445-Dynamic-Spinneret-with-HttpRequest-Object-and-EEPROM-Configuration-Page

Edit: scratch that Firefox, IE, Safari, and Chrome all work using a relative link to a css file or JavaScript file. IE will sniff out the content type returned from the server while Firefox, Safari, and Chrome want the appropriate header sent from the server. You can see the resource requests in the log file. http://spinneret.servebeer.com:5000/index.htm

The same thing goes for video, you need a the appropriate header. Here's an WMV from my trip to San Diego served up by the spinneret. http://spinneret.servebeer.com:5000/video/gwhale.wmv Kinda' weird that IE poops out but Firefox, Chrome download and play the file no problem.

Post your code if you're still having problems.

linzycumbia · 2011-01-29 20:03

How do I increase the number of sub-directories the spinneret will look in? I can visit the site once but then I have to press the reset button on the spinneret before I can visit again. Also some of the images load sometimes and sometimes they don't and the page loads very slowly. Are these problems in the code? Thanks for your last response, it was very helpful!

Mike G · 2011-01-29 21:22

Paths are stored in dirstack

As far as, I know the HttpRequest object works fine. There's not much to it, just an HttpRequest parser.

Post your code if you want help. Otherwise there's not much we can do.

linzycumbia · 2011-01-29 23:08

Here is the code I am using. I load it to the EEPROM. I can't figure out why the page loads once but then won't load again without pressing the reset button. Also some images load sometimes and sometimes they don't and the page loads very slow. I am thinking it is loading slow because its hitting errors in the code. What might be causing these problems?

Mike G · 2011-01-30 07:31

Make sure the file names follow the FAT16 8.3 naming constraint. That is, no more than eight characters in the name and no more than 3 characters in the extension for pages, images, css, and javascript. Next time post all you code including the HTML.

linzycumbia · 2011-01-30 07:59

Here's the HTML. It was too big for the forum.http://blueridgemountainresources.com/website_files_on_microSD.zip Some of the image files are not 8.3 yet but I am only trying to test the index page at this point until I find a solution to the problems.

Mike G · 2011-01-30 08:43

The index.htm page has a video player which I guess you forgot to mention. There is also a "<source src="media/home.webm" type="video/webm">" tag which has a 5 characters extension. As I said before, you need to add the appropriate headers for you're file types; video/mp4, video/webm, and video/ogg. I also see some dynamic content"" and "" are these client or server.

You're going to have to do some troubleshooting to see if you can get your multimedia site up and running on the Spinneret. I would start with removing all the dynamic content stuff I wrote and focus on just the static content. Start by opening the Parallax Serial Terminal and loading the index page. You should see the header requests on the terminal and the request that causes the lock. Finally , add this to the HttpServer.

    repeat while !W5100.SocketTCPestablished(0)
        W5100.readIND(W5100#_S0_SR, @S0_SR, 1)
        ifnot((S0_SR == $14) OR (S0_SR == $16) OR (S0_SR == $17))
          PST.Str(string("Status Code 2: "))
          PST.Hex(S0_SR, 2)
          ResetSocket
          quit

Happy programming

I also have an @font-face in my css to supply a custom font. There are multiple file types to support multiple browsers. I can't find the content type for tff, eot, svg, woff. I would guess woff would not be compatible with the spinneret because it is not 8.3, it has a four char ext (.woff). Would tff and eot be application/tff, and application/eot? When I remove the @font-face the page loads a little faster.

Mike G · 2011-01-30 09:07

The code here is beta at best and not all inclusive. I'm sure that with a little elbow grease the Spinneret can serve up your multimedia site.

The content type for a tiff is image/tiff or image/tff.

linzycumbia · 2011-01-30 09:18

Any idea of a serial terminal like the parallax serial terminal that is for mac. I am using mac and the only serial terminal I have found is an app called CoolTerm. When I load the site all it returns is v.sqqqwwrsppsuvvs3t.vswvqwssvurpswvvsst.sswvqwssvurpswvrs3t.wqwvqs3wvurrssrrwsv.wqs2swwqrsprsdvvwsr.w.s2swwqrsprsuvvwsr.sqstswwqvs0pswvvwsr.wqsrq3wvurrssrr3svw.wswvqssvurpswvvs3tw.wswvswwqrsprssrwwsv.sqstswwvwprssrrwsr3.sqstswwvsprruvvssvs.sqwtswwvsprs3vvwsrs

I'm having problems serving up your site on IIS.

Mike G · 2011-01-30 09:23

I image any ASCII terminal will work. The baud set to 115200.

linzycumbia · 2011-01-30 09:26

try it again. I had the port forwarding to my mac to serve up the html zip file. BTW where in the HTTPServer do I put

repeat while !W5100.SocketTCPestablished(0)
        W5100.readIND(W5100#_S0_SR, @S0_SR, 1)
        ifnot((S0_SR == $14) OR (S0_SR == $16) OR (S0_SR == $17))
          PST.Str(string("Status Code 2: "))
          PST.Hex(S0_SR, 2)
          ResetSocket
          quit

And those " and "" are just html comments

Mike G · 2011-01-30 09:32

In the file named HttpServer.spin, line 231.

Mike G · 2011-01-30 09:35

I mean, I dropped your web app on IIS and received JavaScript errors serving up index.htm.

linzycumbia · 2011-01-30 09:39

I get an error Unresolved Symbol -S0_SR

I will check the JS

Mike G · 2011-01-30 09:45

You have to declare the variable. So this needs to be added to the DAT section line 1106

The most recent files are attached to the post as stated in the post with the attachment.

I tested you web app in IIS first to make sure it worked before dropping it on my Spinneret rig. I thought you should fix those errors before messing with the SPIN code. I'm sorry; I just don't have the time to verify your web application. Let us know how it goes.

Mike G · 2011-01-30 18:51

I just reread my post and it seemed a little rude. Sorry about that... Your application has a lot going on under the hood. I believe the spinneret can handle the task you just need some minor SPIN coding on top of the existing code base.

linzycumbia · 2011-01-31 17:35

Thanks for your suggestions. I have gotten the site up (kinda). I need to figure out why the site loads slow. I also need to figure out why, if the browser is loading a file and I go to another page it stops responding and I have to reset the server. I think I can set a timeout to solve this.

Mike G · 2011-02-01 06:02

Try setting the Cache-Control to private in the WriteResponseHeader method.

StringSend(0, string("Cache-Control: private"))

Mike G · 2011-02-01 16:52

The issue is caching. So try this...

  StringSend(0, string(Request#CR, Request#LF))
  StringSend(0, string("Server: Spinneret/1.0"))

The header line "Expires: Wed, 01 Feb 2012 01:00:00 GMT" tells the browser to use the file in cache until 2/1/2012. Obviously, this is not the best method. But it should work for now. Just remember to update this method if your CSS, js, or ico file changes.

I just noticed that I can't access the website outside of my home network. What might be causing this? I have forwarded port 80 to the ip of the spinneret and my ISP does not block any ports.

Configuration!

Have you tried another port just to be sure? Configure your router to forward port 5000 traffic to the Spinneret on port 80. What is your IP?

linzycumbia · 2011-02-06 08:38

My ISP is Comcast

linzycumbia · 2011-02-06 09:00

It works! But why? Is port 5000 also a default HTTP port because I did not have to enter :5000 after the address the browser just found it? I still can't figure out why any files over a MB don't load.

Mike G · 2011-02-06 11:53

No, 5000 is not a default HTTP port.

It works! But why?

Don't know.... What you're saying does not make sense or you did not supply enough information.

Is the Spinneret listening on port 80?
Did you forward port 5000 to 80?
What is your IP?
Someone on the forum can check connective if you at least supply the address to hit!

If you're trying to hit the Spinneret from your local network and the Spinneret is listening on port 80, your router is going to resolve that address internally to the default port 80 if a port was not specified.

I still can't figure out why any files over a MB don't load.

What kind of file? A web page? image? video??? What happens when you try to serve up the file? Do you get an error? If so what error? What browser are you using? Safari?
