[FEAT REQ.] - AIRCRAFT DATA

[KSanders7070]

To get an AIRCRAFTSPECS.xml created along with the Custom .ACINFO@@@ commands:

“if you go to the ICAO type code search form, then open the developer tools and go to the Network tab, you see a list of all data that the page has downloaded, and one of the entries in that list is a JSON file containing all the ICAO8643 data”
-a source that I know

CURL Command:

curl "https://www4.icao.int/doc8643/External/AircraftTypes" -X "POST" -H "Connection: keep-alive" -H "Content-Length: 0" -H "Pragma: no-cache" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache"

C# Http Request:

var HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

var url = "https://www4.icao.int/doc8643/External/AircraftTypes";
var values = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
        {"Connection", "keep-alive" },
        {"Content-Length", "0" },
        {"Pragma", "no-cache" },
        {"Cache-Control", "no-cache" }
};

var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(values);
var response = await client.PostAsync(url, content);

var responseStringJson = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

Something to consider... there are multiple lines of data for a single designator... for example: B738 has three different info groups. How will we combine all of that data in an automated way?

CURRENT IN ZLC ALIAS:
 .ACINFOC172 .MSG FAA_ISR *** [CODE] C172 ::: [MAKE] CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY ::: [MODEL] 172, P172, R172, Skyhawk, Hawk XP, Cutlass (T-41, Mescalero) ::: [ENGINE] 1/PistonProp ::: [WEIGHT] Small ::: [C/D] 600/1000 ::: [SRS] 1

OUTPUT FROM FE-BUDDY: 
.ACINFOC172 .MSG FAA_ISR *** [CODE] C172 ::: [MAKE] REIMS, FMA, CESSNA, AVIONES COLOMBIA ::: [MODEL] Skyhawk, Reims Rocket, Hawk XP, FR172 Reims Rocket, FR172 Hawk XP, FP172, F172 Skyhawk, F172, P-172, Skyhawk Powermatic, Skyhawk, R172 Hawk XP, R172, P172 Skyhawk Powermatic, Mescalero, Hawk XP, Cutlass, T-41 Mescalero, 172 Skyhawk, 172 Cutlass, 172 ::: [ENGINE] 1/Piston ::: [WEIGHT] Light ::: [C/D] ???/??? ::: [SRS] ???

EXAMPLE FROM PICTURE BELOW: 
.ACINFOTR55 .MSG FAA_ISR *** [CODE] TR55 ::: [MAKE] 3XTRIM ::: [MODEL] Navigator 600, 3X-LS Navigator 600, 3X-55 Trener, Trener  , 550 Trener ::: [ENGINE] 1/Piston ::: [WEIGHT] Light ::: [C/D] ???/??? ::: [SRS] ???

This has been added, however, I don't know if I can include the [C/D] or [SRS] at least not solely from the data I am accessing "https://www4.icao.int/doc8643/External/AircraftTypes". (See picture below)

Oh, I do not create an XML file for this. I will have to implement the xml file after we figure out the additional stuff.
