CoAP_Server

This Project is a fast Proof of Concept to test the abilities of CoAP for a GPS Tracker. All locations are stored in a global array and don't persist For this it is implementing a single path for the CoAP server, /locations over this route the server accepts a JSON containing of an imei, latitude and longitude values. For the as for the timestamp value, it gets added on server side to sort the values.

{
    "imei" : "ASDFGHJKL",
    "latitude" : 1,2345,
    "longitude" : 2,3456,
    "timestamp" : "0001-01-01T00:00Z"
}

For Debugging this project also integrates a simple REST API to get the device locations and add device locations. Also it contains a VERY simple htmx interface to show the devicelocations.

Testing the CoAP path

Since there is no way to use the Copper extension for Firefox or Chrome, the tool of choise is this coap-cli tool.

Example: ./coap-cli post /location -d "{\"imei\": \"aaaaaaaab\", \"latitude\": 1.234, \"longitude\": 2.345}" `
