Onno 22 Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) I'm trying to write an application which will serve up Squad XML's. It's a bit of an exercise to keep me busy and to stay up to date with my coding skills. (I'm aware of the php implementations, but I prefer .Net) I'm trying to write it in C#. If possible, I'd like to serve up the file from a routed response (MVC4) Would specifying "www.sarisdragons.org/squadname/xml/" be accepable as an input for the game if the response would be text/xml? Does the game accept such a response, or does it need an actual file to download? I also want to know how this is handled for the .PAA file. would specifying "www.sarisdragons.org/squadname/shield/" be acceptable if the response mime type would be application/octet-stream?

Onno 22 Posted July 22, 2015 Anyone? Maybe this should be moved to scripting instead, if this isn't getting any replies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brightcandle 114 Posted July 22, 2015 I did a similar thing in Scala a while ago and I used ..../:playername/xml with text/xml as the mine type. So it definitely doesn't need a file it will take a reasonable URL, xml/ isn't an end point but I suspect it will accept it. As to the mime type I don't remember if it has to be text/xml, I used the right mime type but then play framework will use that automatically when you use an XML as the response. I wouldn't be surprised if BI doesn't even check it so I would try a hardcoded response and see if it works or not, I am about 90% confident it will. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was exactly the information I was looking for! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
