Web page authentication using LUA

[krzysztof.kowalczyk 0]

Hi,

I'm trying to access from Virtual Device web page which requires authentication. Unfortunately "setBasicAuthentication" does not work here.

Can you please advise how to authenticate the access.

Server IP: '138.91.51.153'

Hi

 

Here is an example snippet from auth against a web cam...

 

function cameraAuth()

      tcpAXIS = Net.FHttp(IP, 80);

      if (not tcpAXIS) then

        if DEBUG >= 1 then fibaro:debug('ERROR setting up camera server!') end  

        if SYSLOG == 1 then syslogserver('ERROR setting up camera server!') end.   

      end

     tcpAXIS:setBasicAuthentication(USERID, PASSWORD); -- authentication for AXIS camera 

     if (not tcpAXIS) then

       if DEBUG >= 1 then fibaro:debug('ERROR setting up camera server auth!') end

       If SYSLOG == 1 then syslogserver('ERROR setting up camera server auth!') end

     end

end

 

function cameraVirtualPort(inputPort, value) -- enables or disables a virtual port on CAM

 

    cameraAuth()

 

   If tostring(value) == "activate" or tostring(value) == "deactivate" then

     local response ,status, err = tcpAXIS:GET("/axis-cgi/virtualinput/" .. value .. ".cgi?schemaversion=1&port=" .. tostring(inputPort));

     fibaro:call(LOCALDEVICEID, "setProperty", "ui.INPUTCODE.value", "NULL") -- Null is directly after executin to avoid problems

    If DEBUG >= 1 then fibaro:debug('As expected - code wiped out from memory after execution! ' ) end

    if SYSLOG == 1 then syslogserver('As expected - code wiped out from memory after execution! ') end

 

 

I call the cameraAuth() function to set up auth before getting data over http. If you do not succeed it could be so that the web does not support basic unencrypted password authentication.

Unfortunately it looks that basic authentication doe not work on the server. 

 

Some more details on the project I'm trying to do:

 

I'm owning Gree airconditioner which contains wifi control device. The Air Condition is controlled formally only by Android or iOS application and there is no other way described in the documentation. However Wifi controller is connecting with Gree Cloud service (http://eu.grih.gree.com) which is contolling my AC directly. 

I'd like to have the possibility of controlling  the AC unit from Virtual Device but stucked with authentication :-(.

 

Is anyone can help here?

You could try to read the web page and fill the login form fields. That is easy in LUA, python etc. There you have libraries to import as help. But I have not looked into it with LUA in HC2. The HC2 lua implementation is limited. You probably have to do it all yourself as you cannot import any  libraries. And you are limitied with you code base size in HC2... So I cannot tell you it will work. Just a path to look into ant try.

Can I count on any example of code i can follow to have the form filled ?
