Is there a generic IP driver? was created by bowlingbeeg
I would like to connect to something that has an HTTP API but I can't seem to figure out what driver I should use.  The Generic Serial driver seems to imply that it can be used for networked attached devices but I can't get it to work.  I've tried every combination of things I can think of.  Any pointers on what I should use?

I was looking into that last night, unfortunately I didn't make any progress either.  I've got a Paradigm PW Soundbar in my living room that seems like it would be perfect for this, since it supports IP control, but it looks like it's basically just RS232 over IP.  Unfortunately I didn't have any luck last night, I might have to contact Paradigm to figure out what port to connect to.  I tried 1900 and 1902.  I'll have to try again, I just downloaded the Savant "driver", which turns out to be just an XML file, and it says port 14999, though it can be set in the menus.  So I'll have to give it another try tonight.

As a hack I had to use the dummy generic serial driver but then under the covers the remote just uses getURL commands for the buttons. Seems like a generic IP driver is needed, or at least some guidance from Allonis if they think it's something I'm doing wrong or the driver is broken. Since I can't seem to get it to work for serial(lumagen) nor IP(Zidoo) devices.

As you found the GenericSerial driver can do IP calls too.

But as I said the GenericSerial does NOT work with IP devices. I couldn't get it to work at all. I basically had to bypass the driver and just make straight GetURL/PostURL commands.

For instance here is the command that I would like to send.

http://192.168.20.57:9529/ZidooControlCenter/RemoteControl/sendkey?key=Key.Right

So I create the GenericSerial with 192.168.20.57 as the IP and Network port as 9529. I then define a serial model with the prefix /ZidooControlCenter/RemoteControl/sendkey?key= and finally I create the command with command data set to Key.Right.  It doesn't work.  I've tried a bunch of combinations and haven't found anything that works.  So any pointers on what I might be doing wrong?
