Orux vs Trackserver

so i tried with cURL
same result was when i haved good password or bad password.
But if the cURL at the end is bad then i have a result/reation. It is looking like the plugin is not opening the door.

Yes, it is exactly what I told you before.

The MapMyTracks interface of Trackserver is listening on https://kozlycl.cz/wp/mapmytracks/. The requests from OruxMaps use basic authentication, so they include a HTTP header called ‘Authorization’, which PHP needs to get the user ID and password. The Authorization header is not arriving in PHP, or at least that’s what it looks like. Trackserver cannot verify the username and password, so it will ALWAYS return a 401.

The 404 that you get when you POST to https://kozlycl.cz/wp/mapnok/ (which is NOT handled by Trackserver) has nothing to do with it.

Please let me know if you have (other) serious indications that there is a bug in Trackserver. Otherwise, I will close this thread. I am 99% sure that the problem is in your webserver configuration and not in Trackserver.

Hi,

I discovered your plugin just yesterday and it does mostly what I wanted to write myself (using python). But your plugin mostly matches my needs nicely.

A word about https and SNI: My site uses it. This still works with oruxmaps IF the wanted sitename is the first one configured in apache2. So if you have something like

apache2.conf:IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf

just make sure that the config file for the wanted site comes first alphabetically in sites-enabled/*. After I renamed that symlink, everything worked nicely. Might be worth to mention in your FAQ.

And the obligatory wish: Geofencing. I want to publish my cycling except for the region where I live because that would show my exact address.

I could work around this – I already have a rudimentary server emulating mapmytracks, and I also have the client side – both written in Python, so I could write a proxy which removes unwanted points. Both are at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Gpxity. But having this in your plugin would certainly be nicer.

Hello Wolfgang,

Nice to hear that Trackserver is working for you, I hope you enjoy using it.

Regarding SNI: I am aware, that when the client does not support SNI, the server (at least Apache) serves the TLS certificate from the default virtual host, and then it works. My warning is mainly targeted at people who do not maintain their own web server, but use a shared host, for example. They have no way to make it work. By the way I haven’t checked if this has changed in recent versions of OruxMaps; can you confirm that SNI is still unsupported in the current version?

Regarding your feature request for geofencing: I understand your use case; I have the same consideration when I go running from my home. I think I could implement this, although I gather it will be quite a lot of work on the UI-side.

I am thinking of:
– multiple fenced areas should be supported, so a nice management interface is required
– entering coordinates is a drag, a map which you can draw on would be nicer, but quite complex
– is support for rectangular areas enough? I recon polygons are nicer, but more complex.

Anyway I could start with a simple version, with one rectangular fenced area, requiring the user to enter two coordinates.

Can you open a new issue here on the forum, or better yet: an issue on Github?

Hello Martijn,

I am not sure how to test Oruxmaps for SNI. However when the used virtual host was not yet the default one, it did not work. I am using the current OruxMaps 7.0.12

Issue for geofencing:

I am going to use live tracking soon in the Netherlands:
