Feature request: Raw TCP socket option when forwarding scans

[RuzickaJanIng]

Hello. I love your app and I am using it at work to debug 2D codes in industrial automation field. I always wonder, how do I get the read from smartphone to my laptop. Usually use a clipboard and google keep :(

Please add a raw TCP socket option when forwarding scans. A TCP client is OK, sending just the code is OK.
You may let the TCP connection open or close after send, whatever is easier to implement.

If further improving on this idea:

• Option to append starting and ending chars. Example 1: STX Code ETX Example 2: Code CR LF
• TCP Server
• Add trigger - a controller may trigger reading through TCP, (changing a smartphone to low-cost reader)

Hello, thanks for the suggestion. You can already do this with Binary Eye’s built-in forwarding in Settings -> Forwarding: enable Forward scans, set URL to forward to, and choose a Request type such as GET and simply add content or GET with complete query string.

At the protocol level, an HTTP GET request is just a few lines of text sent over a TCP stream, so you can easily use any TCP server to accept and handle that request.

Thanks for a hint. It works. I may decrpyt from raw hex using hex editor.  When manually copy-pasting it is a hassle, because the code content is http- encoded. I can't just copy-paste.
