Hi, Has anyone had any luck with a HTTP Post Library and a Particle Electron? I tried the ‘HttpClient’ library with no luck. A simple code snippet sending to pastebin via HTTP Post would be fab, if anyone has managed it. …and yes I’m aware this can be done without HTTP Post with Webhooks :wink:

@joearkay , I had no problems using the HTTPClient library on an Electron. I can’t share my code (NDA) but what problems are you having?

Hi @peekay123 , thanks for the response. I’ve copied the original example, changed to HTTP Post, attempting to Post to a requestbin, with no luck. Serial debugging is on. Here’s my code: // This #include statement was automatically added by the Particle IDE. #include "HttpClient.h" #include "a…

I’ve solved it! It was completely trivial, but for anyone with a similar problem…it was the ‘http’ in my hostname, it should be: request.hostname = "requestb.in"; request.port = 80; request.path = "/abcdefg"; Thanks all for the help!

@peekay123 Turns out the REST Server I’m contacting only accepts HTTPS connections…after all of this! And as far as I’m aware, there isn’t an easy way of implementing HTTPS on a Particle…

Hi @joearkay Have you seen this post by the Glowfish team? [image] HTTPS client is here for the Photon! - by the glowfi.sh Team Hey Community, We have been working hard at glowfi.sh to deliver an HTTPS client for the Particle community and I am happy to say we are ready to release it …

Is this usable on the Electron?

Hi @joearkay I believe that the code should work, but I have not tested it. Get ready for high data usage since that is what happens with HTTPS.

It should be. Alternatively there are also webhooks that enable HTTPS.

That’s what I’m worried about!

Hi @joearkay

Have you seen this post by the Glowfish team?

There is also work in MBED on HTTPS.
