ALPV - [POST] /local/fflprapp/cloud.cgi

[richardpurr]

Hi Team,

I am looking to for a way to configure an ALPV integration directly from my application via the post request.
The problem I am having is with the URL value in particular.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<cloud_config>
  <url>aHR0cDovLzEwLjAuNS4yMjM6ODA3Ny9saXN0ZW5lci5waHA=</url>
  <latitude>50.418114</latitude>
  <longitude>30.476213</longitude>
  <sensorProviderID>PostmanConfigured</sensorProviderID>
  <protocol>1</protocol>
  <enable>true</enable>
  <skip_image_in_post>false</skip_image_in_post>
  <event_new>true</event_new>
  <event_update>true</event_update>
  <event_lost>true</event_lost>
  <use_multipart>true</use_multipart>
  <use_event_buffer>true</use_event_buffer>
  <user></user>
  <password></password>
  <http_auth_type>0</http_auth_type>
  <send_second_image>false</send_second_image>
  <second_image_type>21</second_image_type>
  <path_template></path_template>
  <x_auth_key></x_auth_key>
</cloud_config>

It looks like this value needs to be encoded.

Can you advise how I might be able to encode the url before sending it to the post request?

The only information I could find regarding this is:
"The encoded target base64 URL. Determines the data that should be pushed to the URL or IP address using the format :port/path. No path is present when the TCP option is used, however the IP and port is still available."

Regards,
Richard

Hi @richardpurr ,
Please use the following website for Base64 encoding and try: [BASE64
Decode and Encode]

C# code for Base64 decoding:

using System;
using System.Text;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Original string to encode
        string originalString = "http://10.0.5.223:5002";

        // Encode the original string to Base64
        byte[] originalBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(originalString);
        string encodedString = Convert.ToBase64String(originalBytes);

        // Decode the Base64 string
        byte[] decodedBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(encodedString);
        string decodedString = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(decodedBytes);

        // Output the results
        Console.WriteLine("Original string: " + originalString);
        Console.WriteLine("Encoded string: " + encodedString);
        Console.WriteLine("Decoded string: " + decodedString);

        // Check accuracy
        if (originalString == decodedString)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Success: The decoded string matches the original.");
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Error: The decoded string does not match the original.");
        }
    }
}

Output:
