Anatomy of a launch request
A launch request is sent by a tool consumer as a simple for submission using an HTTP POST request. You can see what this looks like by either:
- adding an LTI link within a VLE with the following details:
- URL: http://localhost/celtic/exercises/tp.php
- Consumer key: jisc.ac.uk
- Secret: secret
- using the dummy VLE launch page.
Observe the range of data which may be passed by tool consumer. On receipt, you can see the name used for each parameter as dictated by the specification. The dummy tool page assumes the valid shared secret is "secret"; if you use a different secret then the request should not be validated.
