Detailed Description

A carrier for sending/receiving images via mjpeg over http.

Picking a random webcam stream: http://cam.mauirealestate.net:8010/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=320x240 (it will probably be dead by the time you read this, but finding others is easy...) Register this: yarp name register /webcam mjpeg+path.axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=320x240 cam.mauirealestate.net 8010 Make a viewer: yarpview /view Connect: yarp connect /webcam /view You can also view yarp image ports from a browser. Do a "yarp name query /portname" to find their port number NNN, then go to: http://localhost:NNN/?output=stream

Parameters
headera buffer holding the first 8 bytes received on the connection
Returns
true if this is the carrier to use.

Implements yarp::os::Carrier.

Definition at line 113 of file MjpegCarrier.h.

◆ create()

Carrier* MjpegCarrier::create ( ) const

Implements yarp::os::Carrier.

Definition at line 141 of file MjpegCarrier.h.

◆ getBootstrapCarrierName()

std::string MjpegCarrier::getBootstrapCarrierName ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Get the name of the carrier that should be used prior to handshaking, if a port is registered with this carrier as its default carrier.

Normally, this should be "tcp".

For carriers intended to interoperate with foreign ports not capable of initiating streams, the bootstrap carrier name should be left blank. YARP may use that fact to arrange for alternate methods of initiating a stream.

Returns
the name of the bootstrap carrier.

Reimplemented from yarp::os::Carrier.

Definition at line 213 of file MjpegCarrier.h.

◆ getHeader()

void MjpegCarrier::getHeader ( yarp::os::Bytes header) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Provide 8 bytes describing this connection sufficiently to allow the other side of a connection to select it.

Parameters
headera buffer to hold the first 8 bytes to send on a connection

Implements yarp::os::Carrier.

Definition at line 105 of file MjpegCarrier.h.

◆ getName()

std::string MjpegCarrier::getName ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Implements yarp::os::Connection.

Definition at line 56 of file MjpegCarrier.h.

◆ handleEnvelope()

void MjpegCarrier::handleEnvelope ( const std::string &  envelope)
inlineoverridevirtual

Carriers that do not distinguish data from administrative headers (i.e.

canEscape returns false), can overload this method to handle the envelope inside the stream. On the receiving side, the InputStream will have to overload the yarp::os::InputStream::setReadEnvelopeCallback method, and execute the callback as soon as the envelope is ready.

Parameters
envelopethe envelope to transmit bundled with data.

Reimplemented from yarp::os::Carrier.

Definition at line 80 of file MjpegCarrier.h.

◆ isActive()

bool MjpegCarrier::isActive ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Check if carrier is alive and error free.

Returns

Definition at line 186 of file MjpegCarrier.h.

◆ isConnectionless()

bool MjpegCarrier::isConnectionless ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Check if this carrier is connectionless (like udp, mcast) or connection based (like tcp).

This flag is used by YARP to determine whether the connection can carry RPC traffic, that is, messages with replies. Replies are not supported by YARP on connectionless carriers.

Returns
true if carrier is connectionless

Implements yarp::os::Carrier.

Definition at line 60 of file MjpegCarrier.h.

◆ isLocal()

bool MjpegCarrier::isLocal ( ) const

true if carrier will only operate within a single process

Implements yarp::os::Carrier.

Definition at line 92 of file MjpegCarrier.h.

◆ isPush()

bool MjpegCarrier::isPush ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Check if carrier is "push" or "pull" style.

Push means that the side that initiates a connection is also the one that will sending of data or commands. All native YARP connections are like this. A "pull" style is equivalent to automatically sending a "reverse connection" port command at the start of the connection.

Returns
true if carrier is "push" style, false if "pull" style

Reimplemented from yarp::os::Carrier.

Definition at line 97 of file MjpegCarrier.h.
