Esmska

Is there AJAX support?

Asked by TheSpy on 2009-05-17

I have a problem, it seems that on the page i have to send an AJAX request in order to send a message. Does the Esmska support XMLHttpRequest(); ? Here is a send method I have done. Maybe you can see the problem.

function send() {
var re, match, match2, content, params, postData, ret

    // check that login and password supplied
    if (LOGIN.length == 0 || PASSWORD.length == 0) {
        EXEC.setErrorMessage(EXEC.ERROR_WRONG_AUTH)
        return false
    }

// start page
logout()

postData = ["username", LOGIN, "password", PASSWORD, "autologon", "no", "logon", "true"]
content = EXEC.postURL("http://www.coolsms.dk/Logon.html", [], postData)

    // login sucesesfull?
    re = /<input name="number" class="text" type="text">/
    match = re.exec(content)
    if (undefined != match) {
        logout()
        EXEC.setErrorMessage(EXEC.ERROR_WRONG_AUTH)
        return false
    }

// send message
SendMSG(NUMBER,MESSAGE);

return true;
}

var sendRequest;
var statusRequest;
var checkmsgid;

function SendMSG(rc,message){
  sendRequest = createRequest();
  sendRequest.open("POST",'http://www.coolsms.dk/ajax/sendFriSMS.php',true);
  sendRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
  sendRequest.send('recipient=' + escape(rc).replace(/\+/g,"%2B") + '&msg=' + encodeURI(message).replace(/\+/g,"%2B").replace(/\&/g,"%26"));
}

function logout() {
EXEC.getURL("http://www.coolsms.dk/Logaf.html", [])
}

And there is the javascript code from the gateway.

Esmska HTTP client library certainly doesn't support any JavaScript, just basic HTTP. Of course you can evaluate some simple JavaScript in the operator script (it is JavaScript script itself), but you can't access any HTML DOM. Also I don't expect some classes common for browsers like XMLHttpRequest to be available there.

But from my experience most of the gateways use JavaScript only for checking input values in forms, but don't require it for actual sending. Try to disable JavaScript in your browser and try to use the gateway. If it works, then you don't need anything special in the gateway script. Also if I am not mistaken the XMLHttpRequest is just a standard HTTP request and response, therefore can be emulated by posting data to particular URL.

From looking into your script, I see posting some data to http://www.coolsms.dk/ajax/sendFriSMS.php. So just don't do it with javascript objects but with standard Esmska methods: EXEC.postURL(...). You just have to have the parameters in the correct format. Esmska is already converting post data to x-www-form-urlencoded format, so maybe it is not needed at all (just "recipient=NUMBER&msg=MESSAGE"). You can intercept the data with WireShark and look if the data is encoded in the same way from Esmska and from browser.

Thanks for info. I have checked without JS and it doesn't work. It seems to be a little more sophisticated. When a send button is pressed, XMLHttpRequest is initiated and values from the form are passed to sendFriSMS.php. Here is data from WhireShark:

This one sends message, I send id through the browser:

And this one doesn't, through Esmska.

Here is the method:

function send() {
var re, match, match2, content, params, postData, ret

    // check that login and password supplied
    if (LOGIN.length == 0 || PASSWORD.length == 0) {
        EXEC.setErrorMessage(EXEC.ERROR_WRONG_AUTH)
        return false
    }

// start page
logout()

postData = ["username", LOGIN, "password", PASSWORD, "autologon", "no", "logon", "true"]
content = EXEC.postURL("http://www.coolsms.dk/Logon.html", [], postData)

postData = ["recipient","+4561960386","msg", "test"]
content = EXEC.postURL("http://www.coolsms.dk/ajax/sendFriSMS.php", [], postData)

return true;
}

It seems that sendFriSMS.php checks for a referrer and as far as I understand it is impossible to change any header value (also referrer) with JavaScript.
Any suggestions?:)
