The NX series cameras are using Samsung's web services to send pictures via email over WiFi. The web services have been discontinued around January 2021.
There is a flask-based reimplementation of the Samsung NX Email Service that can be self-hosted to send emails from the camera, after redirecting DNS.
The camera will attempt the following when you try to send an email:
- HTTP
GET http://gld.samsungosp.com/-- this host is a CNAME to a non-existing AWS instance, causing the camera's "hotspot detection" to kick in and launch the browser to http://samsungimaging.com which is an empty 404 page. Redirecting this request and returning HTTP 200 is sufficient to continue the process - HTTP
POST http://www.ospserver.net/social/columbus/email?DUID=123456789033with the below payload. - The HTTP response for the POST must be 200 for it to "succeed" in the UI.
POST /social/columbus/email?DUID=123456789033 HTTP/1.0
Authorization:OAuth oauth_consumer_key="censored",oauth_nonce="censored",oauth_signature="censored=",oauth_signature_method="HmacSHA1",oauth_timestamp="9717886885",oauth_version="1.0"

-----------------------------7d93b9550d4aThere is a bug in the transmission, after the image there is no epilogue (----foo--) but just a boundary (----foo), so normal HTTP upload services will not consider this as a valid request.
