A Multi Theft Auto Server egy olyan webes felületet biztosít, melyet a resource-ok sokféle módon tudnak használni. Ennek a dokumentumnak az a célja, hogy elmagyarázza mik ezek a módszerek, és hogy hogyan kell őket használni.

Összefoglalás

Két fontos rész alkotja ezt a rendszert. Az első az egy szabványos webszerver, amely lehetővé teszi a webböngészők számára, hogy oldalakat, és fájlokat kérjenek a resource-ból. A második egy olyan rendszer, amely lehetővé teszi a webböngészők számára, hogy a resource-ból exportált function-öket meghívja.

Oldalak

A fájl megadása a meta-ban

Megadhatja a resource meta fájljában, hogy bizonyos fájlok hozzáférhetőek legyenek a webszerveren keresztül. Ehhez adja hozzá ezt a sort:

<html src="filename.ext" />

Ezt követően elérheti ezt a fájlt a webböngészőn keresztül: http://host:port/resourcename/filename.ext
Például, egy helyileg futattott szerveren az alapéretelmezett http port-ot használja a webmap indításakor: http://127.0.0.1:22005/webmap/map.htm

Binary files

A félrevezető név ellenére a html segítségével megadott fájlok bármilyen típusúak lehetnek. Ha ezek bináris fájlok (például képek, zip fájlok), akkor meg kell adnia ezt a meta fájlban a raw="true" hozzáadásával a html-hez. Ez azt jelenti, hogy a fájlok nem kerülnek előfeldolgozásra mielőtt a webböngészőnek küldenénk.

Például:

<html src="image.gif" raw="true" />

Parsed files

If a file is not specified in the meta file as "raw", then it is passed through a pre-processor before it is returned to the client. This pre-processor works much like PHP or ASP, but uses LUA. You can embed standard MTA scripts within HTML pages, controlling the output. Almost all standard MTA functions work, plus a number of special HTTP Functions, such as httpWrite, a function that outputs text to the buffer.

For example:

<html>
    <body>
        This resource is called <* httpWrite( getResourceName(getThisResource()) ) *>
    </body>
<html>

There is a shorthand (in common with PHP and ASP) for this code, meaning that you can also write the above code as:

<html>
    <body>
        This resource is called <* = getResourceName(getThisResource()) *>
    </body>
<html>

Aside from HTTP functions, embedded Lua has access to the following environment variables that contain information about how the page was requested:

  • table requestHeaders: This is a table containing all the headers that were requested with the page. You can set returned headers using httpSetResponseHeader.
  • table form: This is a table containing all the form data submitted to the page using HTTP POST combined with any variables passed in the querystring with HTTP GET.
  • table cookies: This is a table of all the cookies. You can modify cookies using httpSetResponseCookie.
  • string hostname: This is a string containing the IP address or hostname that requested the page.
  • string url: This is the URL of the page.
  • account user: This is the account of the current user.

It's important to note that parsed files are run in a separate virtual machine from the rest of your resource's code. As such, if you want to call a function in your resource's main code, you need to export the function and use the call function from your parsed file.

Calls

You can specify that certain exported functions in your resource are able to be called from the HTTP interface. All the SDKs (listed below) allow you to call these functions from a remote location.

To specify an exported http-accessible function, add the following to your meta.xml file:

<export function='functionName' http='true' />

You can code your function just as you would any normal function, returning as many values as you want, including tables and resources and most importantly elements. You cannot however return other 'userdata' values such as xmlnodes or functions.

Protocol

This template is no longer in use as it results in poor readability.

Calls are done by requesting http://<your IP>:<your port>/<resource_name>/call/<exported_function_name> using HTTP POST. The body of the request should be a JSON array of the arguments for the function.

The request will return a JSON array of the value(s) returned from the function as the HTTP response.

The server supports HTTP Basic authentication and you can configure access via the ACL and the built-in accounts system.

Calls from the HTTP web interface

Using calls is probably easiest from the web interface and can be done almost seamlessly.

First, add this to your meta.xml file:

<include resource="ajax" />

Secondly, add the following to the <head> section of the page you want to call from:

<* = exports.ajax:start(getResourceName(getThisResource())) *>

Finally, you can create a javascript block in your page and call your functions almost as if they were local. The only difference is that the calls are aysnchronous - you should specify a callback function as the last argument for your call. This is called when the function returns.

Here's a simple example.

meta.xml

<meta>
   <include resource="ajax" />
   <script src='code.lua' />
   <html src='page.htm' default='true' />
   <export function='showChatMessage' http='true' />
</meta>

code.lua

function showChatMessage ( message )
    outputChatBox ( message )
    return 5;
end

page.htm

<html>
    <head>
        <* = exports.ajax:start(getResourceName(getThisResource())) *>
        <script type='text/javascript'>
            function say() {
                var message = document.getElementById('message')
                showChatMessage ( message.value, 
                    function ( number ) {
                        // the function has been called and returned something
                        message.value = "The function returned " + number;
                    }
                );
            }
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <input type='text' id='message' /><input type='button' value='say' onclick='say();' />
    </body>
</html>

You can see (fairly complex) examples of how this can be done in the resources resourcebrowser, resourcemanager and webadmin.

Securing the web interface

The ACL has a number of rights that can affect what files can be accessed.

This works as with other ACL rights - You can enable it just for Admin users, or any other group of users you wish.

SDK

There are a number of so-called 'SDKs' available that allow you to interface with the server from other programming languages. With these you could (in theory) write whole gamemodes. In practice this is probably a bad idea, but it is useful for statistics and administration. The PHP SDK is the most developed version. Feel free to modify or create your own SDKs - if you do please send us a copy.
