How to post a message to a session

[MOGSY]

Hi

I would appreciate if one could show how to post a message to a particular session, or invoke a function in a particular session.

I would like to run a function in a session and this happens when I get an external message in the server module.

Thanks

Hi,

Are you planning to use HyperServer?

Also, don't forget that to able to interact with the client-side, you have to get an event from the client. So even you sent a message to the client, it will wait for the next event.

I would rather use WebSocket.

yes I did, the example is below. I thought it might be possible to send messages through sessions.

@Hayri ASLAN Do you have a solution for how you can receive notifications for a desktop application from the server?

Hi,

Can you please clarify?

I have a Unigui server and I also have a Windows application with Internet access. How can I send a message from the server so that the Windows application can receive it.

Hi

To send message from your UniGui to your window application try this.

try      

     Params := TStringStream.Create('');
      IdHTTP1.Request.UserAgent := 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1';
      IdHTTP1.Request.CustomHeaders.AddValue('authorization','BASIC your authorization here');
      IdHTTP1.Request.CustomHeaders.AddValue('VersionID',VersionID);
      IdHTTP1.Request.CustomHeaders.AddValue('companyID',aCompanyID);

      Params.WriteString(Body);

      URL := 'http://127.0.0.1:8402/yourAPI';     //your server IP and port and any other arg you want
      IdHTTP1.Request.Method :=  'POST';
      IdHTTP1.Request.Source := Params;
      IdHTTP1.Request.ContentType := 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded';
      res := TStringStream.create('');
      IdHTTP1.ConnectTimeout := 20000;
      IdHTTP1.post(URL,params,res);

finally

  FreeAndNil(Params);
  FreeAndNil(res);
end;
