  • Web Interface

    From Mike Dippel@21:4/176 to All on Wednesday, March 02, 2022 15:32:04
    Is there any work being done on providing a web interface where users can log in via the
    web to read and write messages or upload and download messages?

    Currently, users can log into my site via: http://mystic-hobbies.us/ but only via telnet.

    It would be nice to be able to use the web have full access to the system.

    Not currently as far as I know.

    Mystic will serve html files if setup to do so but there is no access to the bbs in any way. Not yet anyway.

    It would but either g00r00 would have to implement that or perhaps it can be done by users of Mystic. I see a road to travel there but I'm not sure how to implement that.

    The normal setup is Ftelnet, using html:
    <HTML>
    <title>Web to Telnet</title>
    <div id="fTelnetContainer"></div>
    <!-- Looks weird, but this ensures your users always get the latest version of fTelnet and not an old version from their cache -->
    <script>document.write('<script src="//embed.ftelnet.ca/js/ftelnet-loader.js?v=' + (new Date()).getTime() + '"><\/script>');</script>
    <script>
    fTelnet.Hostname = "bcw142.zapto.org";
    fTelnet.Port = 23;
    fTelnet.ProxyHostname = "proxy-us-nj.ftelnet.ca";
    fTelnet.ProxyPort = 80;
    fTelnet.ProxyPortSecure = 443;
    fTelnet.ConnectionType = "telnet";
    fTelnet.Emulation = "ansi-bbs";
    fTelnet.Init();
    fTelnet.Connect();
    </script>
    <A HREF=http://bcw142.zapto.org:80/>Back to BBS's Web page</A>
    </HTML>

    So it's html that works via telnet from the web. You can try it to my BBS
    and see it's working. So far that is what severs to get from web to the BBS.

    ... "No comment" is a comment.

    I am currently doing this on mine: http://mystic-hobbies.us and it works well. I would
    like to be able to copy-and-paste some things into a message, and a web interface
    would make it easier to accomplish this instead of having to use a telnet connection.

    I DO use a web interface on my main site at http://hobbylinebbs.com a Wildcat system.

    There, I am able to log in via a web interface to read and write messages and to upload
    or download files, The only thing I can't do is play Door Games. There was talk about
    creating a new wcNavigator program that would allow a quick telnet connection from the
    web to be able to play games, but I don't see that ever happening. The developer
    hasn't even given it much thought lately.
