@AxLed so, it should be as simple as

const express = require('express')

// setup server path handler, for http get request
this.expressApp.get("/MMM-Navigate",(req,res) =>{this.someFunction(req,res)});

// handler dump request object
someFunction: function(request,response){
     console.log("request data="+JSON.stringify(request))
    response.send("Hello from MMM-Navigate");
}

Here is another example of express;

const express = require('express')
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')

// in your member function of node_helper.js, usually it will be `.start()`

this.expressApp.use(bodyParser.json())
this.expressApp.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true}))
var process = (req, res) => {
  var subpath = req.params.subpath
  if (CHECK_SOME_CONDITION) {
    var requestObj = {
      path: subpath,
      query: req.query,
      post: req.body,
      method: req.method,
    }
    this.sendSocketNotification("REQUEST_COMING", requestObj)
    res.status(200).send({status: 200})
  } else {
    res.status(400).send({status: 400})
  }
}

this.expressApp.get("/YOUR_PATH/:subpath", process)
this.expressApp.post("/YOUR_PATH/:subpath", process) // when you need POST method.

Thanks for your quick response, you are faster than my programming timeslots in my “mancave” are. Today i had some time and got it working.

I will test my module changes (for MMM-Navigate) on my mirror for some days, maybe i find some errors and can fix them before i upload it to quick to github in a poor “quality”.

My intension was to get rid of MMM-Remote-Control in my installation, as i found errors (while a new install of my MM) and as it seems that MMM-Remote-Control is not maintainanced anymore.

I added following features to MMM-Navigate:

Raspberry operations: any Shellcommands, i use it for
- restart of MM (pm2 restart mm)
- restart of Raspberry (sudo shutdown -h now)
- reboot of Raspberry (sudo reboot)
controlling MM by URL Calls (if you dont have a rotary encoder connected or while programming)

stay healthy
