HTTP Post request

[ScruffR]

I'd not go down that rabbit hole.
There are some libraries that tried to leverage secure connetions for user applications with Particle devices but they are (often) cumbersome to use and rather heavy on the memory of the device.

I don’t have anything that works yet though and I’m suspecting this has to do with the fact that WolfSSL is C and the Particle compiler have a preference for CPP? I’m pretty sure that the error above indicates a larger problem (unknown type name ‘clas…
