HTTP Send Problems

[amwtech]

I have encountered two issues with the http send device:

1. Unable to delete a parameter, the delete bin for the parameter number only deletes the key value, not the Parameter
2. The only key name that works for data entry is of the form param0 meaning the tool can not send to most restful APIs

To Reproduce Parameter Delete issue

1. Add an HTTP Send device to the local bridge. The name field does not matter
2. Add an HTTP Request to a part.
3. Click the ADD PARAMETER button.
4. Click on the red bin item at the right of the Param # line. The value field clears.

Expected behavior
To be able to remove the parameter complete with its key and value settings.

To Reproduce Parameter Name issue

1. Add an HTTP Send device to the local bridge if there is not one already present.
2. Add an HTTP Request to a part.
3. Click the ADD PARAMETER button. The blank entry form for the parameter is shown as below.

4. Click on the Key field and change the name. For example enter the key name of action, then tab to the value entry field. The entry form changes to the style illustrated below.

The extra parameter entry elements are shown.

Expected behavior
To enter user specified parameter names such that external equipment with a restful api can be sent a control message. For example:

http://192.168.100.101:80/config?action=set&paramid=eParamID_VideoInSelect&value=0

Test Environment:
macOS version 12.6.5 running SuperConductor version 0.11.0-alpha.3

Thanks!
This will be fixed in the next (pre-)release

Johan,
Thanks for the feedback. I have since seen a similar error that you may already have fixed whilst looking at issue #144.

If you add a parameter placeholder to an HTML template item, a key/value parameter cannot be removed by using the red dustbin on the parameter. I intended to add just one key/value pair but accidentally added two, then I was unable to delete either.

Ah, yeah that's a good observation too!

I've made a fix for that as well, it'll be in v0.11.0-alpha.4
