receiver.sh and getdcmtags update for SenderIP filtering possibility

[alipairon]

In case anyone is looking for a method to incorporate an IP filtering possibility into the 'Rules', it's not overly complicated. It can be achieved with the following steps:

1. Update and recompile getdcmtags by incorporating the following changes:

   • In the static section, add: static OFString helperSenderIP = "";

   • In the INSERTTAG section, add: INSERTTAG("SenderIP", helperSenderIP, "127.0.0.1");

   • After the section where other helpers are declared, add: helperSenderIP = OFString(argv[6]);

2. Modify the storescp start string in receiver.sh as follows:

   storescp --fork --promiscuous $transfer_syntax_option -od "$incoming" -dhl +uf -xcr "$binary $incoming/#f #a #c$bookkeeper$bookkeeper_api_key #r" $port

   By adding -dhl, you instruct storescp not to resolve DNS names, and by appending "#r at the end of the getdcmtags launch string, storescp will supply the sender IP address.

3. Don't forget to replace the existing main.cpp file of getdcmtags with the newly edited one. This step is essential for the new tag to be included in the list of available tags on the 'Rules' page.

Hope this helps somebody.
