for an example I need to grab what is after Final-Recipient: rfc822; and Original-Message-ID: and store them as variables
I have tried to do something like
if body :raw :contains ["Original-Message-ID:"] {
set "Original-Message-ID" "${0}";
}
but variable set as Original-Message-ID doesn't contain what is after it in the message.
It came up that the body test will definitely not work with match variables:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5173#section-6
Wildcard expressions used with "body" are exempt from the side effects
described in [VARIABLES]. That is, they MUST NOT set match variables
(${1}, ${2}...) to the input values corresponding to wildcard
sequences in the matched pattern.
The MIME Sieve extensions will likely provide what is needed
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5703 or pipe message to a script and process it there, what I have done in my case.

I have an el5 system with "tcl" and "expect", intended use for use Asterisk Call Manager / 1.0, I make a telnet connection to send messages (use of VGSMII, with vgsm_sms_tx command).
When I actually make the connection in telnet and write the commands, and the text of the messages, no problem. Instead when I do it to the script, Asterisk Call Manager is unable to send messages with special characters (example: € èé)
The O.system uses en_US.utf-8 as the encoding.
TCL should use iso-8859 (if I'm not wrong).
I tried to set up
set var1 [encoding convertto utf-8 $var0]
but nothing seems to change...
I also tried with the gsm0338
Thanks
Normally, you'd want the same encoding to be used by Tcl and by the far end program that you're using at the moment; it's pretty rare for other programs in-between (such as ssh or telnet) to do much other than carry the majority of bytes through unchanged. If the other side expects to be UTF-8, Tcl should be told to use UTF-8 on that channel. In theory, you can put the channel into binary mode and use encoding convertto utf-8 to generate the bytes to write… but that's horrible and easy to get wrong so it should be avoided when you're not doing something complicated.
It's not very well documented, but Expect's spawn IDs are (a special type of) Tcl channels. That means you can, after the spawn, do this once:
# Assuming you're not in a procedure; use $::spawn_id otherwise
fconfigure $spawn_id -encoding utf-8
and everything should Just Work™ from there on.
In the end, i convert only the messages in base64, with this works fine.
i follow this(in view mode, doesn't view anything):
http://open.voismart.it/index.php?title=VGSM_Manager_Interface&action=edit
=vgsm_sms_tx Action=
The vGSM Asterisk's channel driver provides a manager action to send Short Messages (SMS). The action is named '''vgsm_sms_tx'''.
If the message does not contain characters in the [http://www.dreamfabric.com/sms/default_alphabet.html GSM default alphabet] the message will be sent with UCS2 but the available characters will be reduced to 80.
In pre-0.21.0 releases the action was named '''VGSMsmstx'''. This name is now deprecated and vgsm_sms_tx will be supported starting from 0.21.0.

''IMPORTANT'': Asterisk Manager Interface does NOT support line lengths greater that 80 characters, including the header name, thus, it is mandatory to split the '''Content''' header in more headers with at most 65 characters each, unfortunately the splitting is supported starting from vstuff 1.0.0 which is not yet released. Please use a snapshot in the meantime.
''FIXME!!'' This statement needs to be confirmed. Asterisk version 1.4.14 allows a message of 160 char in one single Content: line. Will a message of size > 160 trigger more than 1 SMS?

so I'm trying to use and Arduino Due and a SIM7600 LTE Shield to send a GET request to a server. I've tried multiple servers to no avail and I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong. Below are my AT commands

There is definitely an internet connection as it returns custom error pages from the servers but I'm not sure why it can't get the pages I want.
Any help would really be appreciated
Thanks
I've been able to get a server response with the following request:
GET /4gtest.php HTTP/1.1<CR><LF>
Host: website.co.ukCR><LF>
<CR><LF>
<CR><LF>
I got Error 404 response, probably because it was a test page that had currently been removed. Anyway it is not Error 400 response meaning that, at least, the request is not malformed.
Some description about the request:
After GET command, only the path is expected (as correctly suggested by user #juraj's comment)
Since your error response specified HTTP/1.1, I used the same version for my request
The hostname is passed in the line Host: website.co.uk
Please note that each line is terminated with the <CR> + <LF> couple of characters (carriage return, 0x13 ASCII, and line feed, 0x10 ASCII). It is important to specify it because in your question it is not clear how the lines are terminated
Also note that after the last line a double <CR> + <LF> couple terminates the header section of the request
About Content-Length
I have omitted Content-Length field in my request. As brilliantly explained in the answers to this question, this field specifies the number of octects contained in the message body, after the header. But:
The AT command log in your question did not mention any body after the header
As explained in this answer, request bodies in GET requests are not explicitely forbidden, but they are not recommended
Yes, you can send a request body with GET but it should not have any
meaning. If you give it meaning by parsing it on the server and
changing your response based on its contents, then you are ignoring
this recommendation in the HTTP/1.1 spec, section 4.3
I have a script which processes a shared mailbox and forwards on different email (based on things like the original 'To:' header to various people. It's been working fine for months as a more flexible (and, up till now, reliable) replacement for gmail filters.
The logic is basically
Read each unprocessed message in the inbox
Look up who it was sent 'To:' (e.g. support#domain.com) which is an alias for this gmail inbox
Get a list of the intended recipients (within our organistion)
For each of those, forward the message on
Mark that message as processed, so it doesn't get re-forwarded next time
We've recently received an email which seems to trigger a weird error at the point at which the message is forwarded on. The error is:
Invalid mime type. (line 123, file "Code").
Line 123 of the script reads:
// subject: removes the 'Fwd:' prefix which we don't need, and adds the original target email in square brackets, and sets the replyTo for easy processing
really && msg.forward(rcvr, {subject: msg.getSubject() + " [" + thisTo + "]", replyTo: msg.getFrom()});
Here's a summary of the interesting bits:
really is just a boolean so we can do 'dry runs' for testing
msg is set to the current message being processed, and is of type GmailMessage
rcvr is a string with the recipient's email address
thisTo is a string holding the original 'To:' header
The message in question is a multi-part mime email with plain text and html in it. It displays just fine in gmail, and I can forward it on from there without problems. So, could anyone shed light on what the script engine is complaining about? The raw email looks like this (with some bits taken out for privacy) in case that helps pin it down:

I am requesting a web service and getting a JSON data as shown below. However, I keep getting the following error:

I suspect some kind of encoding issue because the JSON string validates fine in jslint JSON validator. But I don't know what else to look for. Please help, thanks.
\x{feff} is a BOM (Byte Order Mark). I am not sure whether it is allowed at the beginning of a JSON, but it definitely should not be repeated.
thanks to choroba for prompting me to look for the BOM. Greped 3rd party library files which generates the url and surely found the BOM in them.
grep -rl $'\xEF\xBB\xBF' . # Got BOM?
perl -pi -nle 's/^\xEF\xBB\xBF//' *.lib # remove them!
cheers.
I want to ask a question about the multipart/form-data. In the HTTP header, I find that the Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=???.
Is the ??? free to be defined by the user? Or is it generated from the HTML? Is it possible for me to define the ??? = abcdefg?
Is the ??? free to be defined by the user?
Yes.
or is it supplied by the HTML?
No. HTML has nothing to do with that. Read below.
Is it possible for me to define the ??? as abcdefg?
Yes.
If you want to send the following data to the web server:
name = John
age = 12
using application/x-www-form-urlencoded would be like this:
name=John&age=12
As you can see, the server knows that parameters are separated by an ampersand &. If & is required for a parameter value then it must be encoded.
So how does the server know where a parameter value starts and ends when it receives an HTTP request using multipart/form-data?
Using the boundary, similar to &.
For example:
--XXX
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name"
John
--XXX
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="age"
12
--XXX--
In that case, the boundary value is XXX. You specify it in the Content-Type header so that the server knows how to split the data it receives.
So you need to:
Use a value that won't appear in the HTTP data sent to the server.
Be consistent and use the same value everywhere in the request message.
The answer to substance of the question is yes. You can use an arbitrary value for the boundary parameter as long as it is less than 70 bytes long and only contains 7-bit US-ASCII (printable) characters.
If you use one of multipart/* content types, you are actually required to specify the boundary parameter in the Content-Type header. Otherwise, in the case of an HTTP request, the server will be unable to parse the payload.
Unless you are absolutely certain that only the US-ASCII character set will be used in its payload, you may want to add a Content-Type header to each part, with the charset parameter set to UTF-8.
A few relevant excerpts from the RFC2046:
4.1. Text Media Type
A "charset" parameter may be used to indicate the character set of the body text for "text" subtypes, notably including the subtype "text/plain", which is a generic subtype for plain text.
4.1.2. Charset Parameter
A critical parameter that may be specified in the Content-Type field
for "text/plain" data is the character set.
Unlike some other parameter values, the values of the charset parameter are NOT case sensitive. The default character set, which must be assumed in the absence of a charset parameter, is US-ASCII.
5.1. Multipart Media Type
As stated in the definition of the Content-Transfer-Encoding field [RFC 2045], no encoding other than "7bit", "8bit", or "binary" is permitted for entities of type "multipart". The "multipart" boundary delimiters and header fields are always represented as 7bit US-ASCII in any case (though the header fields may encode non-US-ASCII header text as per RFC 2047) and data within the body parts can be encoded on a part-by-part basis, with Content-Transfer-Encoding fields for each appropriate body part.
The Content-Type field for multipart entities requires one parameter, "boundary". The boundary delimiter line is then defined as a line consisting entirely of two hyphen characters ("-", decimal value 45) followed by the boundary parameter value from the Content-Type header field, optional linear whitespace, and a terminating CRLF.
Boundary delimiters must not appear within the encapsulated material, and must be no longer than 70 characters, not counting the two leading hyphens.
The boundary delimiter line following the last body part is a distinguished delimiter that indicates that no further body parts will follow. Such a delimiter line is identical to the previous delimiter lines, with the addition of two more hyphens after the boundary parameter value.
Here is an example using an arbitrary boundary:
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary="yet another boundary"
--yet another boundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="foo"
bar
--yet another boundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="baz"
quux
--yet another boundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="feels"
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
🤷
--yet another boundary--
multipart/form-data contains boundary to separate name/value pairs. The boundary acts like a marker of each chunk of name/value pairs passed when a form gets submitted. The boundary is automatically added to a content-type of a request header.
The form with enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute will have a request header Content-Type : multipart/form-data; boundary --- WebKit193844043-h (browser generated vaue).
The payload passed looks something like this:
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
-----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=”file”; filename=”captcha”
Content-Type:
-----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=”action”
submit
-----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW--
On the webservice side, it's consumed in #Consumes("multipart/form-data") form.
Beware, when testing your webservice using chrome postman, you need to check the form data option(radio button) and File menu from the dropdown box to send attachment. Explicit provision of content-type as multipart/form-data throws an error. Because boundary is missing as it overrides the curl request of post man to server with content-type by appending the boundary which works fine.
See RFC1341 sec7.2 The Multipart Content-Type
we have to split our data. So, the server understands what we send.
1 Example: We split data
$email = $_POST['email'];
$p_id = $_POST['pid'];
2.Example: if We send JSON data ( With ) content type Multipart/form-data, we get a warning related to boundary
$json = file_get_contents("php://input");
use this
headers: {
'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}
for boundary error
