I found a tutorial on writing android apps and was able to muddle my way through it. Amazingly it works!!! It is amazing what you can learn from Google. Thanks for your help on this, especially since I don't even own your product - great customer service for a soon to be customer! Dennis

I think i have found the problem. According to the document below, since I am sending an xml payload and setting custom headers, the request is "preflighted". This apparently means it sends an OPTIONS request to make sure that the request is safe to send. My receiver is responding with an error to the preflight so the actual request is not getting sent. Is there any way around this - or can I just not use a browser to send this command? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTTP/Access_control_CORS?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=HTTP_access_control

With the function as shown above traffic does not show a POST command, but switches to an OPTIONS command with a mention of POST in the header.

As I pasted the function, i get this error message. It doesn't actually send a POST command but an OPTION command.

It just doesn't have the headers that the working post command from the uPnP tool does. http://192.168.0.100:8888/upnp/control/CIS Request Method: POST Status Code: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Request Headers User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64;rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0Pragma:no-cacheOrigin:nullHost:192.168.0.100:8888Content-Type:text/plain; charset=UTF-8Content-Length:303Connection:keep-aliveCache-Control:no-cacheAccept-Language:en-US,en;q=0.5Accept-Encoding:gzip, deflateAccept:text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Response Headers X-AV-Server-Info:av=5.0; hn=""; cn="Sony Corporation"; mn="STR-DA5500ES"; mv="1.0";Server:Trimedia pSOS+/NDK4.3 UPnP/1.0 MediabolicUPnP/-20110626.103844Content-Type:text/html; charset=utf-8Connection:close My best guess is there is something wrong with the objXMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader commands. Thanks so much for taking a look. Dennis

I have not purchased and ISY yet, but I am planning to soon. I have quite a few INSTEON devices and would like to get a central control system. Part of that would be integrating my home theater system. To that end I am close to figuring out how to control my SONY STR-DA5500ES receiver via IP. For testing I am trying to write a simple html page with an on/off button and volume up/down. I have been able to turn the device on and off successfully via IP by using a uPnP developer tool to write the appropriate code to the device. I was able to use wireshark to capture the network traffic (a SOAP command) which is below. The CISDATA parameter is the appropriate control code from list of commands (volume/up/down on/off etc). At the bottom is the javascript function I ended up with to try to generate that SOAP command. The HTML code does not seem that complicated, but I am at a loss to get it working. Is there an easier method? I have little to no HTML programming experience - so it may be something simple I am missing. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
