Live tracking not working in Locus Pro 2.8.7

Hi Tibor

After a (first short) test, i can not confirm.

Hello gynta,

still doesn`t work for me :(

Today, before the bike journey, I did:

1) started Locus

2) switched off automatic start of Live tracking (profile "freemap.sk")

3) stopped the running Live tracking (profile "freemap.sk")

4) terminated the Locus app

After a minute:

1) started Locus

2) opened window with Live tracking profiles

3) selected "freemap.sk" profile

4) window with the settings for this profile opened, but when I tap at the green "Play" icon, nothing happened (just the button selection changed, so my touch was registered by the Locus app). Usually the settings window is closed (in portrait mode), and I see the list of the profiles, where one profile is using red font => the active one.

5) while still in the settings window, I activated the "debug" function

6) afterwards it was possible to activate the profile "freemap.sk", and Live tracking was started (I saw the icon in the notification area).

7) after 10 minutes I got a beep, so Locus was aware of the fact, that it cannot send the request to the backend server.

After two beeps (about 20 minutes), I stopped the Live tracking profile "freemap.sk", made a copy of Live tracking profile to "freemap1.sk" (using built-in function "copy to"), added a slash at the end of the URL (http://dev.freemap.sk/), changed upload interval to 30seconds and activated (without any problem) this new profile. After 5 minutes, I got another beep, so this new profile was also not working.

When I try wget:

I will try to setup the Google Docs as "backend server" as you have described in the wiki, and test this profile tomorrow morning while driving to the work.

If you want, you can also testing here: http://forum.locusmap.eu/viewtopic.ph...

let me know

Alternative with the Google Docs works perfectly. It seems, that the existing Live tracking profiles are somehow corrupted. I willl create a new profile and try, if it works with freemap.sk or not.

Is there any special characters in your string (url) or in any of your Var fields?

Just one of the paremeter is "c = uls/loc" (in URL: "...&c=uls/loc&...."). But it was working before I upgraded to the version 2.8.7.

Hello Tibore,

there should be only a one problem. Before update I had also some problems with updates over live tracking on gynta server. And I found in application that I wasn`t encoding url for request. So if I remember correctly, since 2.8.7, all parameters are encoded in UTF-8. Should this be a problem? Btw. you`re using GET or POST method?

Hello Menion,

please check the UTF-8 conversion, it seems to me, that it is performed twice. This is output from wireshark:

=====================

GET /?lat=49.25147&lon=18.78025&alt=462.4&speed=0.3&...censored...&c=uls%252Floc&status=som%2Bv%2Bpohybe%2B1 HTTP/1.1rn

Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-2, utf-8rn

Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflatern

User-Agent: Locus/2.8.7 (Linux; U; Android; en-us)rn

Host: dev.freemap.skrn

Connection: Keep-Alivern

rn

=====================

1st conversion: / => %2f

2nd conversion % => %25

result: %252f

Also in the variable "status" should be %20 (space) and not %2b ("+" sign).

I hope, that now it is possible to fix the bug :)

Thank you and gynta for your support.

I damn, I`m stupid. ... I was looking on it few days ago and my though was "hmm, this is weird, I forget to encode result ... OK, so fix it" ... and here is result. In another function just before sending request I did it twice now. Thank you for perfect help. In next version if will be OK!
