Request for ADI import via UDP

[TravellerNL]

I know someone has asked before in #574, but except a pointer to Message Type 12, it didn't go much further.

For my POTA browser plugin project, I would like to set the fields: contest_id, sig, and pota_ref, besides what is already possible with Message Type 12.

Then again, for integration with N1MM+ (the next step), it would definitely more of the standard adi fields available via UDP, just like other logging programs are offering.

I love this project! It looks almost perfect and could mean a perfect option to let go of Windows. If only it could accept ADIF via UDP.

I'm able to poke around in the code a bit, but that's also where it ends for me when the source is existing of more than one file :-)

Please pretty please....

Honestly, I don't understand your requirement, from which application should data be sent and why.

But in general, if you managed to implement sending messages as in WSJTX Type 12 (which I wrote above), what means is http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/datastreamformat.html with format:

<magic-number>
12                     quint32
Id (unique key)        utf8
ADIF text              utf8

<magic-number><schema-number><type><id><32-bit-count>  # binary encoded fields
 *          # the remainder is the contents of the ADIF text field
 *          <adif_ver:5>3.0.7
 *          <programid:6>WSJT-X
 *          <EOH>
 *          ADIF log data fields ...<EOR>

then you can send any ADIF record in the ADIF Text field to QLog. In the other word, WSJTX sends ADIF to loggers like this:

oid MessageClient::logged_ADIF (QByteArray const& ADIF_record)
{   
   if (m_->server_port_ && !m_->server_.isNull ())
    { 
      QByteArray message;
      NetworkMessage::Builder out {&message, NetworkMessage::LoggedADIF, m_->id_, m_->schema_};
      QByteArray ADIF {"\n<adif_ver:5>3.1.0\n<programid:6>WSJT-X\n<EOH>\n" + ADIF_record + " <EOR>"};
      out << ADIF;
      TRACE_UDP ("ADIF:" << ADIF);
      m_->send_message (out, message);
    }
} 

NetworkMessage::Builder is implemented here

Regarding your comment N1MM integration, I'm not sure if it's QLog's job to integrate with another log. That's why both applications have Export/Import ADIF. BTW There is no network protocol that defines how ADIF records are exchanged over a network. N1MM has its own network format that has nothing to do with ADIF.

I forgot to note that QLog also implements TCP FLLog protocol (port 8421). You can use XMLRPC method log.add_record to send ADIF records to QLog.
