Is first connection really necessary?

[theRemoter]

Hi, thanks for the great documentation!

My question is:

1. does it really necessary to send the first GET request: http://<ipOfYourTV>:56790/dd.xml or can I skip it and right away send post messages to http://<ipOfYourTV>:56789/apps/SmartCenter ?
2. if I must send the first GET message, do I really need to add the header of Connection: Keep-alive ?

Thanks

Hello,

No, I think is not necessary.
on Openhab (my home automation system)
I just need to do something like this :
sendHttpPostRequest("http://192.168.1.48:56789/apps/SmartCenter", "", "<remote><key code=1006/></remote>");

i didn't update the doc.

Yes, always this one, I get the port when I sniffed the packet from my TV.
