Hello,
I've been doing some experiments with Googles Physical Web Fatbeacon
https://github.com/google/physical-web/issues/784#issuecomment-251571858
The experiments have been with BlueZ 5.40 using the DBus API with
Python 3. BlueZ is advertising a connectable Eddystone beacon. When
the Physical Web Android app connects there is one service with one
characteristic that it is looking for. That characteristic contains a
string that is the HTML content.
All is working well if the web page contained in the characteristic is
nice and short.
However if I make the web page content slightly longer then I end up
getting stuck in a loop where the Physical Web app is just reading the
first part of the characteristic over and over again.
I'm assuming that it is not that uncommon for data to be larger than
can be retrieved in one read although I've not been able to find an
example. I'm a little bit at a loss as to what the ReadValue method
should look like for this characteristic.
Is anyone able to give me some pointers as to what I need to do to get
this to work?
Thanks in advance,
Barry

My content is bigger than 512 bytes when it starts failing. The app is
definitely making multi-read requests of my characteristic. The bit
that I'm missing is how to make the beacon/service give the next chunk
of content on each read.

It is that app that I'm using to connect to the
beacon/service/characteristic I've created with BlueZ.
I seem to be missing something obvious. The app is making multiple
reads and I had expected the ReadValue to be called with an offset
given in the options. This isn't the case.
I've captured what options that are being given to the characteristic
ReadValue when it is called:
Reading value: dbus.Dictionary({dbus.String('device'):
dbus.ObjectPath('/org/bluez/hci0/dev_60_51_1E_E0_17_2D',
variant_level=3D1)}, signature=3Ddbus.Signature('sv'))
Reading value: dbus.Dictionary({dbus.String('device'):

etc...

How big is it? The spec actually limits the attribute contents to 512
bytes. On the other hand I remember the Android App returning
different parts of the data on every read, so it essentially doing its
own fragmentation.

Check out the Android physical web application:
