 * Hi there,
    I would love to use Trackserver with my Teltonika router. The router
   supports http uploads of the gps data. But I did not manage to find out what 
   the user credentials für http Uploads are? I tried sftp user credentials and 
   added a WordPress user. When I try so login by webbrowser the passwords aren’t
   accepted. Does someone use the http upload and has a hint for me? Thanks Daniel

 * The HTTP upload functionality as currently implemented requires HTTP Basic Auth
   with the WordPress username and password. It only workst with HTTP POST.
 * Does that work?

 * Hi Martijn,
    thanks for your help!! Just recognized that the software of the 
   Teltonika router does not support field for username or password 🙁 SO you now
   if there is a way to start the http post with the user information in the link?
   Can Trackserver work with NMEA or AVL perhaps? Thanks again Daniel

 * In a normal browser, you would be able to embed the credentials in the URL like
   this:
 * [https://username:password@server/tsupload/](https://username:password@server/tsupload/)
 * but you’d have to try it to see if it works.
 * AFAIK, NMEA is a data format, not a protocol. It relates more to the GPX part
   of a file upload than the HTTP part. How would you get the NMEA data into Trackserver?
   In any case, NMEA is not a supported format.
 * Regarding AVL, I’m not even sure what that is. The Wikipedia page for it [1] 
   describes it more as a concept rather than a formal standard, data format or 
   protocol, so I’m totally unsure how that would fit into Trackserver’s domain.

 * Hi Martijn,
    the URL field in the router does not accept any other prefix instead
   of www 🙁
 * In the NMEA section of the router you can define a server and port address, more
   over you can define the data you want to send, the interval and a local cache.
 * Same for AVL. If some screens of the settings, if you’re interested:

 * Hi,
 * These ‘upload’ mechanisms seem to be TCP-but-not-HTTP based. Since Trackserver
   is a WordPress plugin, it could never natively support that kind of connection.
   This is actually a FAQ:
 * [https://nl.wordpress.org/plugins/trackserver/#can%20trackserver%20support%20protocol%20x%20or%20device%20y%3F](https://nl.wordpress.org/plugins/trackserver/#can%20trackserver%20support%20protocol%20x%20or%20device%20y%3F)
 * You could write some middleware to translate the NMEA stream into HTTP requests(
   or to insert the data into Trackserver’s database tables directly), but I have
   no idea how hard that would be.
 * Regards,
    Martijn.
