Reference7:HTTP Request Message Format

innovaphone devices will send data to external HTTP servers in various situations. This article describes these situations and the request formats used.

Log Messages

Configuration/General/Logging

GET

When Method External(GET) is selected, the HTTP server will receive a GET request with the following form data parameters (a.k.a. query args):

Parameter	Example	Description
event	syslog	The event parameter will always have the value syslog. This allows the receiving script to distinguish it from CDR data.
time	1214319593	The time the log messages was created. Coded as number of seconds since January 1st, 1970. If time is 0, the internal clock has not (yet) been set.
date	20080624-145953	The same value as time, except that is is coded in a human readable format.
msg	LOG_HTTP 3 TCP-Up 172.16.10.14:7793 172.16.0.17:471	The message itself

If the receiving HTTP server is running a scripting engine such as PHP, the individual fields will be received as request query parameters. In PHP they can be accessed via $_GET:

_GET: Array
(
   [event] => syslog
   [time] => 0
   [date] => 19700101-000000
   [from] => IP24-1d-00-8d
   [msg] => LDIR_SOCK 4 TCP-Out  0.0.0.0:0            0.0.0.0:389
)

POST

When Method External(POST) is selected, the HTTP server will receive a POST request. The request body (i.e. the post data) is not coded as a form-data. Instead, the
