I have added HTTP POST to rtgd.py using a similar approach to that taken in
the weeWX RESTful API in restx.py. It seems to work well. The php I am
using is:
<?php
// we are only interested in HTTP POST
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
// get the data
$data = file_get_contents("php://input");
// write the data to file
file_put_contents("json/gauge-data.txt", $data);
// send something back indicating success
echo "success";
}
?>
If OK with you Alec I have mentioned you in the comments as the source of
the idea and referenced your repo. I will publish 0.2.11 later today.
