pop stop working.

#42303

Any one else use POP on BPQ? mine stop working since the upgrade to 6.0.24.42, now running 6.0.24.45 and same thing. I am running g BPQ32 on windows.

Not sure if the problem is at my end ou BPQ. NNTP and SMTP work fine.

de-linking

Hi...

?

Is there any way of 'de-linking' a single linked node that appears in my list of node-calls that presents with the 'L' command?

AFIK, one must switch a 700 or 710's teeny TNC to KISS, if the radio has been powered down.??

For example, w/ Putty:? Serial, Serial line (COMX), KISS ON, Restart.

Pretty sure same is true for D7, D72, etc. Kenwoods.

I think your code to send the token is faulty. I see this:

I've changed the server code to send the CORS headers. If you let me know what platform you are using I'll send you a binary.

You can see that the request to /api/request_token succeeds and I get a token in the response.

It doesn't make much sense to have an open API if it's only usable from pages served by BPQ itself, so I would suggest allowing any origin, rather than relying on pages to be served by BPQ. As I mentioned earlier, this will only affect browsers as other tools like NodeJS and Python don't actually bother checking or obeying CORS rules anyway.

Thanks, Rik.

I've traced the data stream between the Browser and BPQ and am not seeing an OPTIONS message.

If I install your code in the BPQ HTML folder the token request is accepted. The api request fails as you are not supplying the token, but if I bypass the code to check this the data is returned.

There is a problem that BPQ isn't putting the correct content-type header in returned css but so long as the css is cached in the browser it works.

On reflection I'd prefer the pages to be installed on the server rather than allowing cross domain requests.

Sure. This pages tries to fetch the node list, but fails - see the developer console in your browser (right click on the page, choose "Inspect", then go to the Network tab).

The form expects the IP:port of a BPQ node's HTTP port. All the code for this is in js/api-client.js - to simplify the demo, it requests a new token before each request to the API (we wouldn't normally do this, of course).

Re: BBS Forwarding RF/AXIP

#42290

What's sad is that most people either don't want to learn from past
documentation, like the NEDA quarterlies/annuals, or they are not aware
that information does exist somewhere. As for routing via RF, the past
practice (before the internet) was to have forwarding partners at the
compass points around you and you used a separate frequency for each
direction if you could (dedicated RF/point-to-point). If that was not
possible, a local LAN frequency was used that only forwarding was done
between nodes and not open to users. The dedicated links were a 203,
the local LAN was 192. MINQUAL is set to 161 so that you only saw your
neighbor and one step further out so that you knew which partner to
forward it to. All forwarding links were on 220 (LAN) or 440 (P-to-P).
