Hey guys,

I am working on a VLC remote and I am able to send commands to the player via this function:

function passCommands(command)
{
    var http = new XMLHttpRequest()
    var url = "http://" + ip + ":" + port + "/requests/status.xml?command=" + command;

    http.open("POST", url, true);

    // Send the proper header information along with the request
    http.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + Qt.btoa(username + ":" + password));
    http.send();
}

I am still quite new to QML\Javascript so I am having issues of writing a function to read the information from status.xml file. Does anyone have any tips or anything of how I would go about extracting information from the status.xml file?

Thank you

How to learn Javascript? I know Html and Css BUT I am a BEGINNER at Javascript. It all looks like scribble to me and I dont understand a thing. I need a book that will teach me Javascript but I learn by doing so just reading wont help me at all. I learned html and css by actually doing the examples and creating a website step by step. I need the same for Javascript. Any good books out there like that? I I need a book that wil teach me with actual exercises.
