Filtering IPs in a LabVIEW Web Service Using LabVIEW

[Smootastic]

Overview

This example shows a quick way to filter IPs in the LabVIEW web service.

Description
The Read Request Variable VI allows us to retrieve specific information about the HTTP request to our LabVIEW Web Service.  This specific example retrieves the WS Requestor's IP Address and matches it to an array of allowable IPs.  If in the list, the VI is able to reverse an input string.

The URL format of the web service method is:  http://<IP Address>:<Web Server Port (8080)>/filter/reverse/:data where :data is the string that is to be reversed.

 
Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

• Replace the array of IP addresses with a file code module
• Run the program
