    6 Remote Control allows JOSM to be controlled from other applications, e.g. from a web browser, by opening a listening TCP port (8111) on localhost where it accepts commands.[[BR]]
    7 **Note**: Due to security reasons this feature is disabled in the default settings and has to be enabled manually.
     6Remote Control allows JOSM to be controlled from other applications, e.g. from a web browser, by opening a listening TCP port (8111) on localhost where it accepts commands. \\
     7From JOSM version r6941 through r15469 it was also listening for HTTPS on port 8112. \\
     8**Note**: Due to security reasons the Remote Control is disabled in the default settings and has to be enabled manually.
    89
     10For JOSM version r6941 through r15469, if you access a website via HTTPS and use the Remote Control it will also use HTTPS to control your JOSM. If it does not work, note that your browser, security addons/plugins and firewalls may block this access (you may be able to whitelist/allow it inside these tools) – check your logs. In addition you may need to tell your browser to accept the self-signed JOSM HTTPS certificate. More details on some of these issues: [https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/2208/how-do-i-enable-the-remote-control-in-josm How do I enable the "remote control" in JOSM?] (on the OSM help site).

    10 The following control options are available:
     12After JOSM r15469, websites cannot use HTTPS to control JOSM. Safari is the only major browser known to have issues with remote control commands on HTTPS websites.

    26 == List of Commands ==
    27 === {{{load_and_zoom}}} ===
    28 Instructs JOSM to download a bounding box from the API, zoom to the downloaded area and optionally select one or more objects.
    29 {{{
    30 GET /load_and_zoom?left=...&right=...&top=...&bottom=...&select=object[,object...]
    31 }}}
    32 where
    33 ||= **Parameter** =||= **Required/Optional** =||= **Meaning** =||
    34 || `left` || R || minimum longitude ||
    35 || `right` || R || maximum longitude ||
    36 || `bottom` || R || minimum latitude ||
    37 || `top` || R || maximum latitude ||
    38 || `select` || O || comma-separated list of objects that should be selected. Object specifiers are combinations of the words "way", "node", or "relation", and the numerical object id. Example: {{{select=way38473,node12399,node54646}}} ||
    39 || `addtags` || O || Optional parameter to add tags. The key and value is separated by "=" and multiple tags can be separated by a Pipe "|". See [#addtags details]. ||
    40 || `new_layer` || O || If true, downloads to a new layer ||
    41 
    42 ==== Example ====
    43 
    44 Start JOSM (don't forget to enable the !RemoteControl feature), then click on:
    45 
    46 [http://127.0.0.1:8111/load_and_zoom?left=8.19&right=8.20&top=48.605&bottom=48.590&select=node413602999]
    47 
    48 JOSM should now load an area in the German Schwarzwald and have the specified node selected.
    49 
    50 === {{{zoom}}} ===
    51 Instructs JOSM to zoom to the specified area and optionally select one or more objects.
    52 {{{
    53 GET /zoom?left=...&right=...&top=...&bottom=...&select=object[,object...]
    54 }}}
    55 Accepts the same parameters as the {{{load_and_zoom}}} command and uses the same code for zoom and selection. The only difference is that no data will be loaded from the API.
    56 
    57 **Hint**: This command can also be used to select objects only. Just enter a small arbitrary area to the left..bottom entries and add the object list to the select= option.
    58 === {{{import}}} ===
    59 Instructs JOSM to download the specified OSM file and add it to the current data set.
    60 {{{
    61 GET /import?url=...
    62 }}}
    63 
    64 
    65 
    66 === {{{imagery}}} ===
    67 Instructs JOSM to add an imagery (WMS/TMS) layer.
    68 {{{
    69 GET /imagery?title=...&type=...&url=...
    70 }}}
    71 where
    72 ||= **Parameter** =||= **Required/Optional** =||= **Meaning** =||
    73 || `title` || O || The display name of the layer ||
    74 || `type` || O || Type of the layer. Possible values are `wms` and `tms` [[BR]] (since !RemoteControl Version 1.3) ||
    75 || `min_zoom` || O || The minimum zoom level [[BR]] (since !RemoteControl Version 1.4) ||
    76 || `max_zoom` || O || The maximum zoom level. For higher scales, the images of the maximum level is enlarged [[BR]] (since !RemoteControl Version 1.4) ||
    77 || `url` || R || The Request URL, including patterns. Must be the last parameter, everything after "&url=" is interpreted as URL, even if it contains "&" characters.  ||
    78 
    79 ==== Examples ====
    80 * TMS layer "osm" {{{http://tile.openstreetmap.org/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png}}}
    81

    103 === {{{add_node}}} ===
    104 
    105 Instructs JOSM to create a new node at the given coordinates.
    106 
    107 **Note**: This action requires the permission ''Create new objects'' which is disabled by default.

    120 
    121 === {{{add_way}}} ===
    122 
    123 Instructs JOSM to create a new way with new way nodes at given coordinates.
    124 
    125 **Note**: This action requires the permission ''Create new objects'' which is disabled by default.
    126 
    127 {{{
    128 GET /add_way?way=lat1,lon1;lat2,lon2;...
    129 }}}

    136 
    137 http://localhost:8111/add_way?way=53.2,13.3;53.3,13.3;53.3,13.2
    138 
    139 
    140 === {{{version}}} ===
    141 This command returns the current protocol version of the installed !RemoteControl interface. Developers can use it to query for a running instance of JOSM and also determine whether the requested functionality is available in the client.
    142 {{{
    143 GET /version[?jsonp=callback]
    144 }}}
    145 
    146 The command returns a json object containing an application identifier that is always "JOSM !RemoteControl", a major number and a minor number. Compatible protocol changes result in an increase of the minor number. Incompatible changes increase the major number. So a client application knowing of protocol version 1.0 can still talk to JOSM having 1.1. But it's not guaranteed to be working with 2.0. So the client should verify the major number.
    147 
    148 A typical output looks like this:
    149 {{{
    150 #!js
    151 {
    152    "protocolversion": {
    153       "major": 1,
    154       "minor": 0
    155    },
    156    "application": "JOSM RemoteControl"
    157 }
    158 }}}
    159 For older browsers not implementing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-Origin_Resource_Sharing Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)] the command provides the possibility for jsonp callback. Load the URL in a script tag and supply the name of a callback that will receive the JSON data.
    160 
    161 Following is some sample code that checks for CORS capabilities and uses [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONP JSONP] as a fallback solution.

    219 === Adding, changing or deleting tags === #addtags
    220 Try this example: 
    221 [http://localhost:8111/load_and_zoom?addtags=wikipedia:de=Wei%C3%9Fe_Gasse|maxspeed=5&select=way23071688,way23076176,way23076177,&left=13.739727546842&right=13.740890970188&top=51.049987191025&bottom=51.048466954325].
    222 (Works also with the zoom-command)
    223 
    224 The user must review the tags and the selection before the tags are applied to the selected objects.
    225 If the tag exists on some objects, it will be can be replaced.
    226 
    227 Since protocol version 1.5
    228 - `add_node` and `add_way` commands support `addtags` parameter
    229 - It is possible to use `=` character in value and all leading/trailing spaces are trimmed.
    230 [http://localhost:8111/add_node?lon=13.3&lat=53.2&addtags=natural=tree|name=%20%20%20==Great%20Oak==] (creates node with natural=tree an name="==Great Oak==")
    231 - If empty value is found, tag is to be deleted from objects (checkbox-confirmation is needed)
    232 [http://localhost:8111/load_and_zoom?addtags=wikipedia:de=|maxspeed=&select=way23071688,way23076176,way23076177,&left=13.739727546842&right=13.740890970188&top=51.049987191025&bottom=51.048466954325].
    233 
    234 === Other commands ===
    235 Remotecontrol allows other plugins to add additional commands. The other registers a RequestHandler class and specifies a command to be handled by this class. The command syntax has to be defined by the other plugin.
    236 
    237 Reverter plugin since version 27091 makes use of this feature.
