Rest login syntax or how to have anonymous access

English mAirList 6.x
1

Hi there, I’ve been asked to make a thing that sends a HTTP put requests thru local host from a dj software into mairlist 6.2.2
I believe I have it connecting.
Just not sure on the syntax for anonymous users or how to enable them [config looks different to the wiki]

This is the meat of my c++ code, using WinSock2 since I made something similar for BreakAwayOne
Thanks for reading

WSAData wsaData;
WORD DllVersion = MAKEWORD(2, 1);
if (WSAStartup(DllVersion, &wsaData) != 0) exit(1);
memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr));
addrLen = sizeof(addr);
addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
addr.sin_port = htons(9300);
addr.sin_family = AF_INET;

connection = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
if (connect(connection, (SOCKADDR*)&addr, addrLen) == 0) 
{
	closesocket(connection);
}
else {
	SendCommand("deck master repeat_start 'quickOff' 100ms 1 & effect_active 'mAirlist' off");
// if the initial connection failed it would turn itself off here
		memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr));
	}
// CODE HAS BEEN TRUNCATED FOR READABILITY 
// MY BUTTON PRESS
if (button1)
{
	std::stringstream cmd1;
	cmd1 << "POST /execute/ALL%20PLAYERS%20START" " HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: 127.0.0.1\r\n\r\n";
	std::string getInput = cmd1.str().c_str();
	connection = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
	if (connect(connection, (SOCKADDR*)&addr, addrLen) == 0) 
	{
	send(connection, getInput.c_str(), strlen(getInput.c_str()), 0);
	closesocket(connection);
	}
}

cmd1 << "POST /execute/ALL%20PLAYERS%20START" " HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: hello:app@127.0.0.1\r\n\r\n";

I guess it’s this, just unsure on my execute formatting now,
From my browser [any internet browser] alone with this string it is returning on air status
username:password@127.0.0.1:9300/status/onair

so my question is how to make the first player play on command from my browser?
After that I think I should be good.

Hey!
Assuming duplicate of the other post?

HTTP POST: username:password@127.0.0.1:9300/execute?command=AUTOMATION 1 START

You need to pass the command in the post body or in the URL as above.

See the wiki: config:remotecontrol:rest [mAirList Wiki]
Remember to grant your REST user permission to execute commands!
