Is HTTPS request from LUUP code possible?

[samppa]

Does anyone know if I can make HTTPS request from luup code with cookie support?
I would login to my pages on Verisure website and get the alarm status to be used in automation as home/away switch. I can do this successfully with two wget HTTPS calls: 1) login and 2) access status page with cookies that store the session authentication. But no luck so far with luup.

So can that even be done with lua from a scene with luup code?

@hek Do you know who could know if saving the cookies is possible with https POST request in luup code?

Hmm.. this thread might give you a hint on how to do ssl requests from lua. Setting cookies is just a matter of setting the cookie header.

But it will require some hacking to pick up the cookie response from the login request and forward it.

Thanks @hek

I got it working with CURL:

local pw = 'xxx'
local un = 'xxx'

--login request
local url_1 = 'https://mypages.verisure.com/j_spring_security_check?locale=fi_FI'
local command_1 = "curl -c '/tmp/log/cmh/cookie.txt' -d 'j_username="..un.."&j_password="..pw.." "..url_1
local f_1 = assert(io.popen(command_1, 'r'))
local response_1 = assert(f_1:read('*a'))
f_1:close(f_1)
luup.log("Verisure login response: "..response_1)

--armed status request
local url_2 = 'https://mypages.verisure.com/remotecontrol?_=14616968783849'
local command_2 = "curl -k -b '/tmp/log/cmh/cookie.txt' "..url_2
local f_2 = assert(io.popen(command_2, 'r'))
local response_2 = assert(f_2:read('*a'))
f_2:close(f_2)
luup.log("Verisure status response: "..response_2)

This returns the alarm status of Verisure system:

[{"date":"Today 8:47 PM","notAllowedReason":"","name":"Samppa Turunen","changeAllowed":true,"id":1,"label":"Armed stay","type":"ARM_STATE","status":"armedhome"}]

Now I need to parse the response string into a variable.

Then I could make a device for it to be used as home / away switch.
What would be the easiest example to start packaging the code into a device file for Vera? This would be my very first handmade device.. :-)

I would have a look at one of the existing plugins to get some inspiration... that's how I learned the device file format and "normal" structure of Vera plugins.
