Using setConfigXML in the API Mate

gistfile1.md

• Access the API Mate: http://mconf.github.io/api-mate/

• Create a new meeting.

• Join this meeting to make sure it won't be removed from the server in case you take too long to run the other steps.

• Use getDefaultConfigXML via GET to get the default config.xml.

• Copy and paste this config.xml into a new file. Edit it to remove any special characters (e.g. you might have HTML tags in the copyright field, so you have to remove or escape them).

• Edit your config.xml according to your needs.

• Put the edited XML content in the "XML for setConfigXML via POST" field in the API Mate.

• Instead of using the API Mate to call setConfigXML (don't just click in the link), use another tool that runs outside of the browser. curl is a good option. First, copy the link the API Mate generated to setConfigXML. It will be a really long URL. Then use it with curl (replace <link> by the URL):

  curl --header "Content-Type:application/xml" -i -X POST '<link>'

  The answer should be something like:

  <response>
      <returncode>SUCCESS</returncode>
      <token>qHgdIqZz</token>
  </response>

• If you got the answer above, use the value inside <token> to join a new user. Paste the token in the field configToken in the API Mate and then join the meeting as you usually would, using the join links (as moderator or attendee, it doesn't matter). The user that just joined should be using the configurations you set in your config.xml.
