Master URL
The project URL entered into BOINC is just a human-readable (X)HTML page. The RPC communication happens on a separate endpoint. This endpoint is located by fetching the project URL and looking for a specific tag.
There are two different ways to find the tag. It is recommended to implement both of them to maximize compatibility.
Here’s an example.
<!--
<scheduler>https://scheduler.einsteinathome.org/EinsteinAtHome_cgi/cgi</scheduler>
-->
HTML Link tag
The scheduler link is stored in an HTML Link tag with the relation boinc_scheduler
. Here’s an example.
<link rel="boinc_scheduler" href="https://scheduler.einsteinathome.org/EinsteinAtHome_cgi/cgi">
