Updating Plugin for newer firmwares
Posted: Sun Nov 03, 2013 5:28 pm
Yep, I've started working on the HS2 version of the Fritz!Box plugin so that it will also work with newer firmware versions.
But what I've seen until now, doesn't make me happy... a lot of work (to be done)!
This afternoon I updated my own Fritz so I could test a bit more before sending a beta to some beta testers. Sorry guys, I need a bit more time...
I anticipated that I would be 'done' after implementing the new login method, but I was wrong - totally wrong.
At first start-up of the new Plugin the firmware version wasn't detected, Country & Area codes, nothing worked anymore!
All due to changes that AVM made in the responses from the Fritz! Box; almost all regular expressions failed to find a match, so I had to study the responses and alter the regular expressions so that they worked again. What a bummer...
The current state (regarding firmwares > xx.05.50) is that the Plugin can login and detect all the values it needs to work:
But I still have to check all other things like the Phonebook, Voicemail, WLAN & TAM buttons because too much has changed to assume that it's still working.
For now, I'm calling it a day - time for some other fun stuff without HS2, Fiddler and watching webpage sources all the time...
Keep you posted...
