To be clear, currently it is not possible to connect from the web to an INDI server. Are there plans to invest in such functionality?

Thanks for the quick replies guys! The reason I want to do it in the browser is because i want something easily accesible by everyone over multiple platforms, wether it is Windows, OS X, phone or tablet. Also, I know Javascript and Python and c not so well :) .

Hi All,

I’ve been browsing the docs for a while now but can’t find anything usefull yet. I also wasn’t able to find a good example that is talking over the XML protocol, so here I am.

A little background story. At first I wanted to start with the ASCOM platform because I knew they have a thing called ASCOMRemote, which is a REST API which allows control over all the devices connected. Because the fetching of devices etc. currently it is disabled because they are reworking it, I figured to start with INDI instead.

As stated above I’d like to connect from basicly a webpage to the INDI server with JavaScript. Where is described how this protocol works? All the examples seem to use Python or C(++) and include a library. So I’m a bit lost in the docs where to find this information.

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could push me into the right direction, perhaps with some examples as well. Thanks a bunch in advance!
