Accept posting without timestamp #206

Open pgdr opened 7 years ago

pgdr commented 7 years ago

If I submit the value (value, sensor_id, timestamp) with timestamp = null, I would like to have the server interpret it as now.

Then it is up to the client to not cache values, in a fire-and-forget style.

Maybe we could send a srring like 'now' or 'server'?

Yes, we could. Are you afraid that we might wrongly interpret (or transmit) a null or 0 as timestamp(0)?

It sounds easier on the server side to use 0, as we can then if not timestamp: timestamp = now().

My main point was that the client should send something, and not just an empty value. I might have misunderstood your original suggestion.
