About

mhttpd.js contains javascript function wrappers for most MIDAS AJAX functions typically used for implementing interactive custom pages for MIDAS experiments.

AJAX is a set of web development techniques used to construct interactive web applications:

mhttpd.js is typically served by mhttpd from $MIDASSYS/resources/mhttpd.js

<html>
<head>
...
<script src='mhttpd.js'></script>
...
</head>
...
</html>

A mostly up to date copy of mhttpd.js is linked here:

An example for using all mhttpd.js functions is included in the MIDAS distribution under examples/javascript1:

MIDAS AJAX functions can be accessed directly without using mhttpd.js wrappers (i.e. using the JSON-P script-tag method)

  • AJAX - MIDAS AJAX functions

Functions

Helper functions:

  • function getMouseXY(e)
  • function XMLHttpRequestGeneric()
  • function ODBExtractRecord(record, key)
  • function ODBEdit(path)

ODB access functions:

  • function ODBSet(path, value, pwdname)
  • function ODBGet(path, format, defval, len, type)
  • function ODBMGet(paths, callback, formats)
  • function ODBGetRecord(path)
  • function ODBKey(path)
  • function ODBCopy(path, format)

MIDAS access functions:

  • function ODBRpc_rev0(name, rpc, args)
  • function ODBRpc_rev1(name, rpc, max_reply_length, args)
  • function ODBGetMsg(n)
  • function ODBGenerateMsg(m)
  • function ODBGetAlarms()
