Hi everyone,

someone just tipped me that you guys discovered my Python (not JavaScript) script which I use do upload documents to my DPT-RP1. I realize that it is not very user friendly, it's just something I hacked together over the course of some days. The important findings are:

All interactions between the DPT-RP1 and the Digital Paper App use a REST interface that runs on the reader. When connected via WiFi, Bluetooth, or USB, the reader is available as digitalpaper.local.
The initial certificate generation and registration uses an unsecured interface at http://digitalpaper.local:8080, documents are transferred over a secured interface at https://digitalpaper.local:8443. You can either extract the certificates for the secure connection from the Digital Paper application or simply ignore the certificate validation.
When connected via USB, the reader presents itself as a network adapter. This is only required for the initial configuration. Once the reader has been set up, everything works via WiFi.
You can do the initial pairing using the Digital Paper application in a virtual machine running Windows on a Linux host. Simply pass the USB network device to the VM.
