download action
The SiteController module da_rest_client is able to perform download actions with a configuration like
configuration
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

...
<action action_id="download_memodata" device_id="rest_test">
<commands>
<command command_id="download">download(<'uri to request'> method=<'get'/'post'> timeout=<positive floating point number>)</command>
</commands>
</action>

<command command_id="download">download('/rest/memodata_download.php', method='post', timeout=3)</command> |
response
The received data of the executed request are the content of the download data. Once the action was executed, the da_rest_client signals the download in a raw result. The sensor_gateway_id of this raw result is equal to the configured device_id of the da_rest_client, which performs the download action (in our example the device_id is 'rest_test').

The download file handling
The downloaded data are saved in files, the path to that files is by default /opt/azeti/SiteController/tmp, which can be changed in the SiteController.cfg in a section like this:
