Telnet on Android

2014-03-19 Thread Glen Bojsza
I need to create an Android app that does a telnet session to a router and
the n processes several command line arguments.

Livecode's Android support doesn't currently support sockets so can anyone
recommend a solution?

The app does simply what I have described...when launched there should be a
couple of buttons and nothing else.

thanks,

Glen

Hi Glen,

Can you tell more about this? Is this a router in an existing network 
environment? Is this a router that is yet to be designed? Can you alter 
the software in the router?


Normally, you'd log in on a router over http and change the settings in 
your internet browser. I would expect this to be possible on an Android 
device too.


If you can't change the software in the router and you can't write an 
external to use sockets, then you're probably out of options, unless you 
want to use ugly hacks like using another server in the middle.

The router already is designed, built and deployed.

Needs to be telnet since the app will use a special purpose command line
built only for a specific admin level access so there are no other options.
Believe it or not but the tablet connects via ethernet to the router...this
is a very special application so I may need to go outside of Livecode from
the looks of it.

Coming in 6.6 is a 'secure socket' command (mentioned in the RC
announcements).  It is in RC 1 and RC 2, but I haven't looked to see if it
is cross-platform.  I would hope yes.

That depends on your point of view, or your context. For me, I'd say you 
normally telnet (or similar) to a router and use the efficient, 
all-powerful command line interface. The majority of routers (Juniper, 
Cisco, Draytek, Netgear, ...)  support a telnet interface.


OK, recent consumer routers will usually recommend browser-style 
interfaces - but there's 20 years of tradition before that using 
telnet-like interfaces to control routers. At least some routers will 
have configuration options or commands that are not available, or 
relatively clumsy to use,  through an HTTP interface.

Is there an option to possibly open process from LC on Android and then
work with a third party telnet client that we would need to identify and
have installed on the table?

Does LC's open process work on Android?
