Mobile App for an existing website without creating API

Emir Buğra KÖKSALAN tarafından tarihinde yayınlandı

Actually everything in the web is a service. When you enter to a website lots of things doing in behind the door. Your browser makes GET request to the server. In this request sending cookie data, browser capabilities and data for server process. A typical GET request is seems like that:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding:gzip, deflate, sdch, br
Accept-Language:en-US,en;q=0.8
Cache-Control:no-cache
Connection:Upgrade
Cookie:foo=bar; foo2=bar2; foo3=bar3; foo4=bar4
DNT:1
Host:stackoverflow.com
Origin:http://stackoverflow.com
Pragma:no-cache
User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36

When server receives this request then web server program (Apache, Nginx, Tomcat etc…) makes some operations and returns a result.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Encoding: gzip
Content-Length: 23095
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2017 20:44:06 GMT
Via: 1.1 varnish
Connection: keep-alive
Set-Cookie: foo6=bar6; foo7;bar7; PHPSESSIONID=aergaegaergaergaerg
Vary: Accept-Encoding,Fastly-SSL
Cache-Control: private

This is an example communication between client and server. This is our main point. If you don’t want to write API to your existing web site then you have to make three tings. First: handle incoming-outgoing “cookie” headers. Second: parse incoming HTML data. Three: make POST or GET request correctly.
