Leonardo "Direct flight upload"

1.  Interface

In order to "direct upload" a flight tracklog in a leonardo server:

• The client sends the flight claim data with the HTTP POST command to the appropriate server URL. (see chapter 4)
• The server answers with a normal HTML page, which contains a reference number in the following format:
              response=[A-Za-z0-9]{9}
  
  

• If the flight claim is correct and accepted by the server, the answer contains additional the message
              flight scored

2. Parameters of the HTTP POST request

Name	Description	Example
user	The username of the pilot on the Leonardo server	testuser
pass	The password of the pilot on the Leonardo server	mypass
igcfn	The filename of the IGC flight track file without extension.	286a0ab1 or 2006_01_02_13_56 Nice flight at the beach
Klasse	Competition class with one of the following values: 1 = Flexible Wing 2 = Rigid Wing 3 = Paraglider (open) 4 = Paraglider (sport) 5 = Paraglider (Tandem)	3
OLC Classis: The coordinates of the waypoints 1 – 7. The questionmark denote values in the range from [0..6]
w?bh	Latitude - hemisphere N/S	N
w?bg	Latitude – degrees	52
w?bm	Latitude – full minutes	37
w?bmd	Latitude – thousandth part of the minutes	690
w?lh	Longitude - hemisphere E/W	E
w?lg	Longitude – degrees	52
w?lm	Longitude – full minutes	37
w?lmd	Longitude – thousandth part of the minutes	002
FAI Triangle: The coordinates of the waypoints 1 – 5. The questionmark denote values in the range from [0..4]
fai?bh	Latitude - hemisphere N/S	N
fai?bg	Latitude – degrees	52
fai?bm	Latitude – full minutes	37
fai?bmd	Latitude – thousandth part of the minutes	690
fai?lh	Longitude - hemisphere E/W	E
fai?lg	Longitude – degrees	52
fai?lm	Longitude – full minutes	37
fai?lmd	Longitude – thousandth part of the minutes	002
**** If no turnpoints are supplied, Leonardo computes its own solution.****
IGCigcIGC	The contents of the corrosponding IGC flight track file (as it is).
mindist	**optional** Leonardo will see the pre-computed turnpoints and will prefer a smaller "free distance" score if this gives > " mindist" km instead of a triangle solution with more points but < "mindist" km. For example the DHV rules for the german league set mindist=15 if not set or set to zero, the highest score will always be prefered	15

3. Notes for the IGC flight track file.

No requirements consering valid G-records. Leonardo accepts both valid and invalid tracklogs and this only does matter in some valuations.
All fligths get listed in the daily scores regardlees of valid g-record.

No special restrictions for the filename. Any length of chars (not only 8).

 

4. submission URL

Each leonardo server has it's own submission url and it's own set of users/passwords.

The submission URL of a leonardo server is usually:
http://server_address/extra_path_if_present/modules/leonardo/flight_submit.php

Some examples:

Leonardo on www.paraglidingforum.com runs on

http://www.paraglidingforum.com/modules.php?name=leonardo

so the submission url is

 http://www.paraglidingforum.com/modules/leonardo/flight_submit.php

Leonardo on DHV runs on

     http://xc.dhv.de/xc/modules.php?name=leonardo

so the submission url is

http://xc.dhv.de/xc/modules/leonardo/flight_submit.php

(note the extra /xc/ )
