Question about WEBSET Settings

[TJF1960]

Hello,

I have been having some trouble when changing the WEBSET Get URI and virtual host name sections. After they are initially set and I go in to change them (and of course I hit send afterwards) it seems I have to reboot the board for the changes to take effect. Is this normal?

Thanks,
Tim

Currently on rev 3.02.16b

Not really, WEBSET configuration are directly stored in EEPROM, during execution the URI is dynamically read back from EEPROM, there is no memory copy.
What was the sympton of your problem?

Once I reconfigured some of the settings in some of the WEBSET slots and hit send all WEBSET activity stopped. Once rebooted they started correctly working again.

I have seen webset commands stop working as well, but changing settings on "notify" page did not cause it. Reboot fixed it. I can not say exactly what caused it, but it had been working then stopped without making changes to the notify page. I had made changes to the PLC code but can't say if it started immediately after a change or not. This has happened to me once with the latest "c" version.

Since posting earlier today it happened 3 different times after chaning the plc code as well. But I haven't figured out why and cannot reproduce it yet..is random. Still on the "b" version.

I have changed my PLC a bunch of times. So far, the webset has only stopped once. So it is very hard to say what caused it.

WEBSET has a queue to store what WEBSETgoing to send out. If you modifified the WEBSET configurition so that your older queued requests becoming invalid, then WEBSET could end up sending to nowhere. We can see you will need to change it a lot during debugging/setup, but don't expect the configuration being changed all the time during normal running.

We can just empty all queued requests if any change to the configuration made. But no sure that is something everyone wanted.
