remote web trigger

[Zorac]

my remote web triggers stopped working recently, it seems the authentication method for BI has changed? started around 4.3.0.8 i think.

my remote method of triggering is to use http://IP_ADDRESS_OF_BI_SERVER:PORT/admin?camera=camera_short_name&trigger&user=XXXXX&pw=XXXXXX
it gets called by a python script on a raspberrypi which monitors door contacts.

is there a new url i should be using? i check the setting in BI for authentication it doesn't seem like they changed.

Did you ever get an answer to this?

Hmm.

I have been using the JSON API to trigger cameras and I know that still works, but it is a whole lot harder to use this method from a simple script. I suspect the older/simpler method specified above may require the "Secure Only" box to be unchecked in the web server options, since it involves passing credentials in plain text in the URL.

If it is truly broken, I'm sure Ken would be willing to fix it if you tell him about it.

It does work with Secure Only unchecked. Thanks.
