Starting and Stopping Channels Using a Web URL

The HTTP request also handles two additional parameters for starting and stopping channels: ChannelAction and ChannelName. ChannelAction could be one of four values:

To start, stop, start all or stop all channels:

• Copy the following line, and paste it into your web browser's address bar:

http://localhost:6543/status.html?UserName=admin&Password=password&ChannelAction=channelaction&ChannelName=TestChannel&Format=format

• Replace localhost with the hostname of the machine Iguana is listening on (localhost is the default hostname).
• Replace 6543 with the port that Iguana is listening on. 6543 is the default port.
• Replace UserName=username and Password=password with your actual user name and password.
• Replace ChannelAction=channelaction with one of the four values described in the above table.
• Replace ChannelName=TestChannel with the name of the channel you want to start or stop.

	Note that the ChannelName parameter does not have to be specified when using the StartAll and StopAll channel actions.

• Replace Format=format with either xml or text, depending on which format you want the status information in. If Format is not specified, the default format is text.

An example of the text entity is shown below:
