syncml-http-server(1) libs syncml-http-server(1)NAMEsyncml-http-server - simple HTTP server built on libsyncmlSYNTAXsyncml-http-server [option] syncml-http-server --sync <type> <path>DESCRIPTIONsyncml-http-server is not a real synchronization tool. It is rather used for testing. The tool will list all entries that the device wants to sync and is also capable of adding items to the device.USAGEIf you want to display the contacts for example you could type: syncml-http-server --sync text/x-vcard Contacts The --sync options states that you want to sync vcards and that your local database is named "Contacts". This example would send syncml as plain xml. The tool would then go into listening mode and wait for incoming connections. You then have to enter your ip address, port etc on the device and start the sync.OPTIONS--sync <type> <path> Emulate a database of the given type on the url. --slow-sync <type> <path> Emulate a database of the given type on the url and use slow-sync type should be a IANA registered mimetype or your own type. Common types are: - "text/x-vcard" for contacts, - "text/x-vcalendar" for events, - "text/plain" for notes and - "text/x-vMessage" for SMS path is the local name of the database. You can choose anything there. --add <type> <path> Add the file given in path to the device as the given type type should be a IANA registered mimetype or your own type. Common types are: - "text/x-vcard" for contacts, - "text/x-vcalendar" for events, - "text/plain" for notes and - "text/x-vMessage" for SMS path to the file to add. The file has to be a VCard, VCalendar, etc. [--port <port number>] Listen on this port for incoming connections [--multi] Normally the tool exits after the first session ends. By using this option you can use more than one session. [--recvLimit <limit>] Limit the size of the receiving buffer to this size (Needed for some phones) [--maxObjSize <limit>] The maximum size of a object that we can receive (Needed for some phones) [--useStringTable] Use wbxml string tables (Improves transmission size, but not supported by some phones) [--dumpinfo] Print info about the phone at the end which can be sent to the developersEXAMPLESTo run this program the standard way type: syncml-http-server --port 9999 --sync text/x-vcalendar events --sync text/x-vcard addressbook --multi --san Another example: syncml-http-server --sync text/x-vcard Contacts --sync text/x-vcalendar Calendar --port 9999 This would get the contacts and the calendar entries (This example works for a Nokia 6680). It would also listen on the port 9999 for incoming connections. Note that you dont have to set wbxml explicitly. libsyncml detects the incoming packets and sets wbxml automati- cally if needed.TROUBLESHOOTINGIf it does not work try the following: - Change the name of the database ("Contacts" and "Calendar" in the example) - Check with netstat -npa when the tool is running to see if the port is opened - Use a network sniffer like ethereal to take a look at the data being transmittedENVIRONMENT VARIABLESWhen you want to provide trace files please turn on tracing like this: export SYNCML_TRACE = /path/to/log/dir export SYNCML_LOG = /path/to/log/dir Run the tool again with tracing enabled to get a trace (2 files in the log directory).SEE ALSOsyncml-obex-client(1)AUTHORSThis manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux project by Matthias Jahn <jahn.matthias@freenet.de>.
