Detailed Description

Data Structure Documentation

◆ APIServiceResponse

struct APIServiceResponse

It contains the data that will be sent back to the client in the HTTP thread, when control returns to the APIController.

Public Member Functions
	APIServiceResponse ()
	Constructs an invalid response.

void	setHeader (const QByteArray &name, const QByteArray &val)
	Sets a specific HTTP header to the specified value.

void	setHeader (const QByteArray &name, const int val)
	Shortcut for int header values.

void	setCacheTime (int seconds)
	Sets the time in seconds for which the browser is allowed to cache the reply.

void	setStatus (int status, const QByteArray &text)
	Sets the HTTP status type and status text.

void	setData (const QByteArray &data)
	Replaces the current return data.

void	appendData (const QByteArray &data)
	Appends to the current return data.

void	writeRequestError (const QByteArray &msg)
	Sets the HTTP status to 400, and sets the response data to the message.

void	writeJSON (const QJsonDocument &doc)
	Sets the Content-Type to "application/json" and serializes the given document into JSON text format.

void	writeWrappedHTML (const QString &html, const QString &title)
	Because the HTML descriptions in Stellarium are often not compatible with "clean" HTML5 which is used for the main interface, this method can be used to explicitely wrap the given HTML snippet in a valid HTML 4.01 transitional document for better results, and include the stylesheet `iframestyle.css` for consistent styling when used in iframes of the RemoteControl web interface. More...

void	writeFile (const QString &path, bool allowCaching=false)
	Writes the specified file contents into the response. More...

Friends
class	APIController

Member Function Documentation

◆ writeFile()

void APIServiceResponse::writeFile	(	const QString &	path,
		bool	allowCaching = `false`
	)

inline

Parameters

path	The (preferably absolute) path to a file
allowCaching	if true, the browser is allowed to cache the file for one hour

◆ writeWrappedHTML()

void APIServiceResponse::writeWrappedHTML	(	const QString &	html,

	)

inline

Parameters

html	The HTML snippet to wrap with HTML document tags
title	The title of the page

◆ RemoteControlServiceInterface

class RemoteControlServiceInterface

Each implementation is mapped to a separate HTTP request path. The get() or post() method is called to handle each request. Instances of this class which are provided through the StelModuleMgr's extension mechanism (by adding it into the list returned by StelPluginInterface::getExtensionList()) are automatically discovered and registered with the APIController.

Public Member Functions
virtual QLatin1String	getPath () const =0
	Returns the desired path mapping If there is a conflict, only the first object is mapped.

virtual bool	isThreadSafe () const =0
	Return true if the service's get() and post() methods can safely be run in the HTTP handler thread, instead of having to queue it into the Stellarium main thread. More...

virtual void	get (const QByteArray &operation, const APIParameters &parameters, APIServiceResponse &response)=0
	Implement this to define reactions to HTTP GET requests. More...

virtual void	post (const QByteArray &operation, const APIParameters &parameters, const QByteArray &data, APIServiceResponse &response)=0
	Implement this to define reactions to HTTP POST requests. More...

virtual void	update (double deltaTime)=0

Member Function Documentation

◆ get()

virtual void RemoteControlServiceInterface::get	(	const QByteArray &	operation,
		const APIParameters &	parameters,
		APIServiceResponse &	response
	)

pure virtual

GET requests generally should only query data or program state, and not change it. If there is an error with the request, use APIServiceResponse::writeRequestError to notify the client.

Parameters

operation	The operation string of the request (i.e. the part of the request URL after the service name, without parameters)
parameters	The extracted service parameters (extracted from the URL)
response	The response object, write your response into this

Note: The thread this is called in depends on the supportThreadedOperation() return value

Implemented in MainService, AbstractAPIService, LocationSearchService, ObjectService, SimbadService, LocationService, StelActionService, ViewService, StelPropertyService, and Scenery3dRemoteControlService.

◆ isThreadSafe()

virtual bool RemoteControlServiceInterface::isThreadSafe ( ) const

pure virtual

This can result in better performance if done correctly. Unless you are sure, return false here.

Implemented in AbstractAPIService, LocationSearchService, SimbadService, and Scenery3dRemoteControlService.

◆ post()

virtual void RemoteControlServiceInterface::post	(	const QByteArray &	operation,
		const APIParameters &	parameters,
		const QByteArray &	data,
		APIServiceResponse &	response
	)

pure virtual

POST requests generally should change data or perform some action. If there is an error with the request, use APIServiceResponse::writeRequestError to notify the client.

Parameters

operation	The operation string of the request (i.e. the part of the request URL after the service name, without parameters)
parameters	The extracted service parameters (extracted from the URL, and form data, if applicable)
data	The unmodified data as sent from the client
response	The response object, write your response into this

Note: The thread this is called in depends on the supportThreadedOperation() return value

Implemented in MainService, AbstractAPIService, LocationService, StelActionService, StelPropertyService, and Scenery3dRemoteControlService.

◆ update()

virtual void RemoteControlServiceInterface::update ( double deltaTime )

Parameters

prefixLength	Determines how many characters to strip from the front of the request path
parent	passed on to QObject constructor

Member Function Documentation

◆ registerService()

void APIController::registerService ( RemoteControlServiceInterface * service )

The RemoteControlServiceInterface::getPath() determines the request path of the service.

◆ service()

virtual void APIController::service	(	HttpRequest &	request,
		HttpResponse &	response
	)

virtual

It finds out which RemoteControlServiceInterface to use depending on the service name (first part of path until slash). An error is returned for invalid requests. If a service was found, the request is passed on to its RemoteControlServiceInterface::get or RemoteControlServiceInterface::post method depending on the HTTP request type. If RemoteControlServiceInterface::isThreadSafe is false, these methods are called in the Stellarium main thread using QMetaObject::invokeMethod, otherwise they are directly executed in the current thread (HTTP worker thread).

Reimplemented from HttpRequestHandler.

◆ update()

void APIController::update ( double deltaTime )

Passed on to each AbstractAPIService::update method for optional processing.

Member Function Documentation

◆ service()

virtual void RequestHandler::service	(	HttpRequest &	request,
		HttpResponse &	response
	)

virtual

It checks the optional HTTP authentication and sets the keep-alive header if requested by the client.

If the authentication is correct, the request is processed according to the following rules:

If the request path starts with the string "/api/", then the request is passed to the APIController without further processing.
If a file specified in the special translate_files file is requested, the cached translated version of this file is returned. This cache is updated each time the app language changes.
Otherwise, it is passed to a StaticFileController that has been set up for the data/webroot folder.

Note: This method runs in an HTTP worker thread, not in the Stellarium main thread, so take caution.

Reimplemented from HttpRequestHandler.
