WebControl - WC8: Data poll error - Invalid URI: The Authority/Host could not be parsed

[TJF1960]

Hello io_guy,

 

I have been trying out NodeLink and have been able to add dsc alarm to it and isy successfully. I am having issues with the webcontrol8 boards. I believe they have changed the gui and I am getting this error WC8: Data poll error - Invalid URI: The Authority/Host could not be parsed.

 

Reading thru the forum I found a post by Xathros where he had attached his xml file from his wc8 which stated his fw was v03.02.13

Mine is v03.02.18b5

 

I have attached mine for reference.

 

Thanks,

Tim

Tim,

Is it the same /api/status.xml url you use to get this info?

 

I dump your file directly into NodeLink and it parses fine.  What address do you have configured in the NodeLink page, this seems more like an http issue.

[TJF1960]

Yes, I copied that info right from one of my wc8's from my browser..

 

I am using "192.168.0.169" as the address. admin / admin as user/pass.

 

Does the "NetBIOS name" in wc8 matter?

Do you need "web login enabled"?

[io_guy]

NetBIOS doesn't matter. If you can get to it with Internet Explorer, then NodeLink should work (for login).

 

Any chance you can expose it externally to allow me to connect?

[TJF1960]

Is there a setting by chance in NodeLink that will allow you to access? Or do I need to configure in my router to expose it?

[io_guy]

It would need to be done in your router

[TJF1960]

Ok, do you need access to the Nodelink webpage or wc8 webpage or the entire pogoplug?

[io_guy]

just NodeLink

[io_guy]

Also, the /api/status.xml you see in the browser - is it getting redirected to https or anything like that?  Meaning once you view it in the browser, does the final url still show http://<ipaddress>/api/status.xml?

[TJF1960]

No redirect, this is copied directly from the address bar after the xml page comes up "http://192.168.0.169/api/status.xml"

 

I have sent you a pm.

 

Thanks,

Tim

Big thanks to io_guy once again. It turns out that in the "Device" tab when I was adding another device I was changing the "Node Profile Number" increasing it by 1. Once I left the profile number the same the Uri error would occur after adding a device until NodeLink was restarted. Then all was well.

 

Thanks again,

Tim
