Hi all,

i use this script to control the PTZ API of my AXIS Cameras.
e.g.: http://192.168.4.111/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi?rpan=-2

The Script looks like this (thanks kgoodyer):
Quote:

Dim webStream As Stream
Dim webResponse = ""
Dim req As HttpWebRequest
Dim res As HttpWebResponse
req = CType(WebRequest.Create("http://192.168.4.111/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi?rpan=-2"), HttpWebRequest)
res = CType(req.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
webStream = res.GetResponseStream() ' Get Response
Dim webStreamReader As New StreamReader(webStream)
While webStreamReader.Peek >= 0
webResponse = webStreamReader.ReadToEnd()
End While


The Problem is, i don't know how to do a request with a password,
Quote:
http://USER:PASSWORT@192.168.4.111/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi?rpan=-2
does not work.

So is there a possibility to send user and password with a HttpWebRequest?

Best, Thomas

I don't have an Axis camera, but I did some searching, and it appears Axis cameras require Digest authentication.

Here's a C# example, it should be easy enough to translate to VB.Net

Thank you for the answer, but unfortunately i am not able to translate the c# example to VB.Net.

Maybe anyone can do?

Thanks,
Tom

I'm a C++ and C# software engineer, but I don't work with VB.Net. So here's a stab by me, completely untested, I don't even know if it would compile.



Quote:

Dim webStream As Stream
Dim webResponse = ""
Dim req As HttpWebRequest
Dim res As HttpWebResponse

Dim uri as New Uri("http://192.168.4.111/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi?rpan=-2")
Dim username as String = "PutYourUsernameHere"
Dim password as String = "PutYourPasswordHere"

req = CType(WebRequest.Create(uri), HttpWebRequest)

Dim myNetworkCredential As New NetworkCredential(username, password)

Dim myCredentialCache As New CredentialCache
myCredentialCache.Add(uri, "Digest", myNetworkCredential)

req.PreAuthenticate = true
req.Credentials = myCredentialCache

res = CType(req.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
webStream = res.GetResponseStream() ' Get Response
Dim webStreamReader As New StreamReader(webStream)
While webStreamReader.Peek >= 0
webResponse = webStreamReader.ReadToEnd()
End While



If there are syntax or compile errors, someone who actually knows VB.Net will have to take a look at it.

Hope this helps!

I still couldn't get it working.

Anyone else who knows how to get this done in VB.Net?

Jenkins provides machine-consumable remote access API to its functionalities. Currently trigger a new build In order to make this command work, you need to configure your Jenkins job to take a file in environments where XML manipulation is tedious (such as shell script.) Username/password based authentication.
