Remote control of Philips TV with json

[baggins]

After a long session with Wireshark I gave up on this script...

I now use the following script which works:

Code:

require('json')
require('socket.url')
require('socket.http')
local ltn12 = require("ltn12")

path = "http://192.168.0.232:1925/1/input/key"
local payload = [[{"key" : "CursorLeft"}]]
print(payload)
local response_body = { }
local res, code, response_headers, status = socket.http.request
 {
   url = path,
   method = "POST",
   headers =
   {
         ["Content-Type"] = "application/json",
         ["Content-Length"] = payload:len()
   },
  source = ltn12.source.string(payload),
   sink = ltn12.sink.table(response_body)
 }

print('Response: = ' .. table.concat(response_body) .. ' code = ' .. code .. '   status = ' .. status,1,'Sample POST request with JSON data',-1)
