HTTP-request ?

[wawanUnic]

Hello.
Is there a way to take a photo via http-request?
I want an external device to start the photo. This device is on the same network as my raspberry.
What kind of http-request should I create?
Thank you.

Yes. You can do just about everything by making http requests.

The key to doing this is sending in a basic request using cmd_pipe.php?cmd=xx

where xx is a command as detailed in the wiki section on commands

So as an example to capture an image one would use something like

http://camera_ip/html/cmd_pipe.php?cmd=im

where camera_ip is the ipaddress of the raspberry hosting the camera and assuming you have installed it into the default html folder
