Enabling logging network.http to DEBUG (maybe just INFO could work) will log the wget request but it will also log a lot of other activity so set back to ERROR level ASAP - look for "GET /music/current/cover?player" in server.log. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109772 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I installed it on my Windows LMS server and I'm now more confused. The GET url strings for the cover art coming from the clients match the case of what I'm using in the client, regardless of browser. So it looks like I'm wrong to accuse the browser of silently changing my url strings to lower case. I can still duplicate the issue with Opera though. I see the GET strings come into the server with same character case used in the client, upper or lower, but sometimes the server returns the default icon file (type PNG) and other times, at least with Opera, it returns the cover art (type JPEG). Chrome requests always result in the server returning the expected image, for all upper case MAC in the request it returns default icon (type PNG) and for lower case MAC it returns the cover art (type JPEG). There must be some cache thing or something going on that I'm not understanding. I installed the same version of Opera that I'm using on my client laptop on the LMS server and it seems to work ok which is confusing too - displaying either the default icon or the cover art depending on the case of the request string. I hate it when I get wrapped around the axle on something like this. I need to just use lower case query strings and move on! sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109772 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

It's unencrypted http, so you can sniff it using tcpdump or Wireshark.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Case Sensitive Player MAC with wget but Not HTTP?
I looked at this again briefly this morning because it's been bugging me a little. There's a recent similar report here: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/chrome/bjSLuj5DpE8/ONuFHk7wBwAJ My chrome was a bit out of date so I updated and that fixed the issue. I updated Opera also but it looks like it's still broken. I cleared the browser image cache and also tried holding down control while doing a page refresh but I still get the correct cover art whether I use upper of lower case characters in the player mac. For completeness, I should probably figure out if there's a logging option I can enable on LMS for these queries so I can see the actual request strings that the server sees. sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109772 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I guess so long as the client and server are always using or converting to all lowercase then it would never be an issue. I just find it odd behavior that Chrome and Opera would both silently change a requested url to lower case when characters after the domain name portion of the url are allowed to be mixed case, and you won't get the page you are requesting if there's a mismatch. sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109772 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

hi sodface, FYI: 1. piCorePlayer MAC address routines always convert MAC addresses to lower case. It was done that long ago I can't remember exactly why. 2. piCorePlayer mostly uses BusyBox wget. On the odd occasion, we install the full GNU wget (wget.tcz). Changes to BusyBox wget has caused us issues in the past. regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109772 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Case Sensitive Player MAC with wget but Not HTTP?
Thanks for the replies, I believe the browser is to blame. Chrome and Opera both retrieve the correct cover art with upper or lower case mac in the request url. I didn't think to try it last night or before posting this thread, but I just tried Internet Explorer and it works the same way as wget - upper case mac gets me a default icon and lower case mac gets me the correct cover art. So it the case of Chrome and Opera (shared code?) it looks like the browser is rewriting the requested url to all lowercase? Here's a similar question with someone complaining about his server logging hits to all lower case urls when the correct url is upper or mixed case: https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/103189/why-is-my-site-getting-requests-for-urls-converted-to-lowercase With the answer being blamed on many things, but not the browser. I haven't researched it, but if upper or mixed case urls are allowed, the browser shouldn't be rewriting request urls to lower case. It may be bad practice to use urls with upper case characters but the browser should respect the link or whatever the user types into the url bar. In this case it looks to me like LMS is operating correctly and it was Chrome and Opera that derailed me yesterday doing my testing as I didn't catch the case change between wget and the browser immediately and I couldn't figure out why wget kept pulling the wrong cover art. The mac displayed by ifconfig is all upper case, so that was the easiest thing to get and paste into the wget url. sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109772 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Case Sensitive Player MAC with wget but Not HTTP?
I can't be sure on the URL but in many places in the LMS code the Player Id is an string which can identify the player uniquely. Originally it was derived from h/w player MAC address but with newer players (touch & Radio) and s/w p[layers - slimproto was extended so the player ID can be a UUID (string of lower case letters and digits) so I think now player id in this case player id is created from the lowercase version of MAC Address. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109772 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Could you quote Thema Url? As there is a question mark in it which could be expanded depending on the shell used.
