Re: iOS Application influencing a running web app?

2016-09-23 Thread Pascal Bourguignon 
A web application has a bunch of urls, each connected to a different function. 
Define an url to set a parameter and connect it to the function that sets this 
parameter. Use this url only in the iOS application. You may want to use some 
authentication protocol to authorize the parameter setting, but this should be 
already provided by your web application framework.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure I'm following, though. Do you mean to
send it query strings? I could make the HTML page of the app a PHP page. If
that's what you meant.

Just write some http app on the laptop, and hit it with requests (urls) from 
the iOS app; this would be the Q way to do it easily and with some level of 
security (https). 

Since you already have a web app, you can just add some admin requests to it.

iOS Application influencing a running web app?

2016-09-23 Thread Eric E. Dolecki 
I am going to have a web application running on a local laptop - which runs
various a prototype of a user experience.

I've been asked to add an iOS application to the mix, to control parameters
in the running app on the laptop.

What might be the best way to architect this type of set up (and also
easiest)? Have the web app poll a file for contents - and have the iOS app
talk to a PHP page with POSTs of values and write to that file - and have
my app poll it? Sounds terrible. Some AJAX thing? I'd like to avoid a
database if possible.

Just throwing this out there. If it's too off-topic, please disregard this.

Thanks,
Eric
