Re: Re: IPhone remote for Nintendo DS

Hi Jean-Charles,

Links are working, and it's possible to access all differents 
pages. The buttons 
are working to. The console shows the differents access, but no 
action is 
performed.

 
Can you post one of these accesses to rmbd-locations?

I have a question concerning rmbd files. It seems to me that they 
don't exist 
on filesystem but the httpd server understands them as actions to 
perform, 
is that true ?

I have run some tests to undestand what happens but I loose track 
from those 
files.

 
The web server is plugin based and allows fine-grained control over 
what accesses are served by which plugin. The authentification plugin 
asking you for your password thus works everywhere on the server and 
allows you to relogin directly into any of the modules.

Thus, while the static content - html & images are served by a 
"simple" file serving plugin (that limits access to the files in 
Remote Buddy.app/Contents/Resources/WebRemote/ directory), the rmbd 
locations are mapped on top of them and all accesses you make there 
are directly forwarded to dedicated Cocoa-based plugins that handle 
the specific functions.

This allows for an extremely fast and low-overhead handling of 
requests as the complete overhead of launching external cgi binaries 
or interpreting scripts is saved.

You thus won't see any rmbd files - now or in the future. The plugins 
may appear as bundles in Remote Buddy at some point, though.

Also, from the screenshots it looks like the screen resolution of the 
Nintendo DS is very small, so it would probably require a complete 
overhaul to make the AJAX Remote fit on screen. I'm not sure, whether 
I'll go to that length to support the Nintendo DS as the iPhone 
clearly is the primary addressee for the AJAX Remote.

 
Yes, DS screen is small. But it doesn't matter to me if screen 
doesn't fit 
properly. I understand your priorities, but if it possible to make 
the actions 
to work, it will be so usefull for me.

 
I realize there is a problem with Opera not supporting some of the JS/ 
CSS properties AJAX Remote currently uses for the trackpad. But apart 
from that, the desktop version works for everything I've tried so far.

Nonetheless, to get an idea of what JS Events Opera on the Nintendo 
DS supports and whether swapping graphics and CSS files would 
possibly already be sufficient, please run this test suite on the DS 
(I originally compiled it to get an idea of what the iPhone can and 
can't do):

JSTestSuite.html

 
I have try that yesterday, did you received the results ?

 
Yes, I did receive them. Thanks! From that I gather that the DS 
browser has the same limitations as the iPhone's version of Safari 
regarding support for JS events.

Best regards, 
Felix
