This object allows for processing of RESTful HTTP/HTTPS requests from remote URLs to the embedded web server of the BrightSign player. Many of the requests are provided to the script as roHttpEvent objects for handling.

CreateObject("roHttpServer", parameters As roAssociativeArray)

Currently, the The associative array can contain a single parameterthe following parameters:

  • [int] port: The port number of the embedded web server
  • [roAssociativeArray] http: A set of HTTPS configuration parameters:
    • [string] key_file: The name of a file containing the private key in PEM format. If neither the passphrase nor obfuscated_passphrase are passed, then the key file must be unencrypted.
    • [string] certificate_file: The name of a file containing the certificate in PEM format
    • [string] passphrase: The passphrase to decrypt the key file
    • [string] obfuscated_passphrase: The obfuscated passphrase to decrypt the key file. Contact support@brightsign.biz to learn more about generating a key for obfuscation and storing it on the player.
Note
titleNote

If the key and certificate are contained in a single file, it may be passed as the certificate_file (and the key_file can be omitted).

 server = CreateObject("roHttpServer", { port: 443, http: { certificate_file: "cert.pem", passphrase: "sekrit" } })


ifHttpServer

Each “Add” handler method described below takes an associative array as its parameter. Values in the associative array specify how the handler behaves. See the table at the end of this section for common key:value pairs.

The following table describes common key:value pairs for "Add" handler methods:

Name

Applies to

Value

url_path

All

The path for which the handler method will be used

user_data

GetFromEvent()
PostToString()
PostToFile()
MethodToString()

A user-defined value that can be retrieved by calling roHttpEvent.GetUserData()

method

AddMethodFromEvent()
AddMethodToFile()

The HTTP method associated with the generated roHttpEvent. The method type can then be retrieved using roHttpEvent.GetMethod().

passwords

All

An associative array that contains a mapping between usernames and passwords

body

GetFromString()

The response body

filename

GetFromFile()

The path to the file used for the response body.

destination_directory
