NEED TESTERS (even more for DSM < 6) + feature request aggregator

[Quentame]

Goal of this issue

Collecting people owning a Synology NAS to test, improve and add feature to the library

Need testers for two things :

• I would like to add a DSM version "auto detect" feature to automatically discover the dsm_version param, and then propably remove it.
  With that done, we may also add support to other DSM versions than actual 5 and 6 ! 🎉

• Also we need to consolidate the test/const.py file to test DSM < 6 services 🔧

Instructions will come soon to tell you how to do so.

@aaska
Everything you need to know for your testing and contribute to a better library tests is in for-testers branch.

Get this branch and open get_data_for_tests.py.

Instructions are there with comments.

For the auto detect DSM version, may you paste :
https://$host:$port/webapi/query.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Info&version=1&method=query&query=SYNO.API.Auth

on your browser, while changing $host and $port.

Past the result here.

Thanks.

Here is the result of the URL request :

{"data":{"SYNO.API.Auth":{"maxVersion":4,"minVersion":1,"path":"auth.cgi"}},"success":true}

Regarding populating the INFORMATION section : #28
Here are some output

-------------------- INFORMATION --------------------
DEBUG: Requesting URL: 'https://10.0.1.150:5001/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.DSM.Info&version=1&method=getinfo'

-------------------- INFORMATION_END --------------------

From digging a little bit, the information would need to be done through the following call :

Request URL: https://xxx.yyy.fr:zzzzz/webapi/_______________________________________________________entry.cgi
Request Method: POST
[{"api":"SYNO.Core.System","method":"info","version":2,"type":"firmware"}]

The output would be :

{
  "data": {
    "has_fail": false,
    "result": [
      {
        "api": "SYNO.Core.System",
        "data": {
          "firmware_date": "2018/12/26",
          "firmware_ver": "DSM 5.2-5967 Update 9",
          "model": "DS410j"
        },
        "method": "info",
        "success": true,
        "version": 2
      }
    ]
  },
  "success": true
}
