Simple url request / need help please

[MarcGermany]

Hello @all

i want only a very very simple code for:

when i get a high signal maybe on D0 then send a GET request to a url like this:

192.168.1.253:98/rawCmd?schalte=192

but i only find online some code that s for sending a message to the pushover client. but i need not so much code … the core is connected to my wifi router and only when D0 is switched from LOW to HIGH the program must make a GET Request to a url not more. Maybe someone can help me out

I post my test code so you can maybe see whats wrong or can say something

regards from Germany

Just as a side note HTTP requests need to be terminated with \r\n - hence the final println() instruction.

Also you are already connected to the server, so I'd omit /http://192.168.2.254.

You can also look here

Making a GET or POST request from the core

Hi @manuelmasri, A GET request should be really similar, just switch the method and include the parameters in the url instead of in the body, something like… (I haven’t tested this), where LIB_DOMAIN is a hostname from above: client.connect(LIB_DOMAIN, 80); client.println("GET /example.php?arg1=value&arg2=another HTTP/1.0"); client.println("Host: " LIB_DOMAIN); client.println("Content-Length: 0"); client.println();

[MarcGermany]

Thank you ScruffR for your answer

can you show me maybe a little example code for explain what you mean with ( \r\n - hence the final )

thank you very much

[ScruffR]

The linked thread features a sample already.

[MarcGermany]

@MarcGermany

client.flush();

i know but this is wrong too , nothing worked i tested the code you told me in the sample (link) nothing worked... then i test other code like this:

#include <string.h>
// #define LIB_DOMAIN "192.168.2.254/signalInput.php?sensorId=12346&sensorWert=30"


TCPClient client;



void setup() {
    
}

void loop() {
   // client.connect(LIB_DOMAIN, 80);
    client.println("GET /status HTTP/1.0");
    client.println("Host:192.168.2.254/signalInput.php?sensorId=12346&sensorWert=30" );
    client.println("Content-Length: 0");
    client.println();
    client.flush();

  delay(5000);
  
}

but i have no luck

i don't know whats the problem

How about this?

TCPClient client;

IPAddress serverIP(192, 168, 2, 254);  

void setup() {
    client.connect(serverIP, 80);
    client.println("GET /signalInput.php?sensorId=12346&sensorWert=30 HTTP/1.0");
    client.println("Host: 192.168.2.254");
    client.println("Content-Length: 0");
    client.println();
    client.flush();
}

If you want to do this frequently you need to take care not to use up all the free sockets by just connecting and never closing the connection.

@ScruffR

TCPClient client;

IPAddress serverIP(192, 168, 2, 254);

void setup() {
client.connect(serverIP, 80);
client.println("GET /signalInput.php?sensorId=12346&sensorWert=30 HTTP/1.0");
client.println("Host: 192.168.2.254" );
client.println("Content-Length: 0");
client.println();
client.flush();
}

Thank you very much it worked but sadly only one time now the spark core is flashing blue the green then red and nothing worked again i have tried to upload it again but after the upload the same issue

You should be able to revert to a working device via CLI and DFU Mode

particle flash --usb tinker

[kevireilly]

It is worth noting that setup is only called once and that you may not be able to remain perpetually connected to the server. You might want to also start utilizing client.stop() to disconnect or utilize if (!client.connected()) { /* connect here */ } to re-establish the connection when you’ve been disconnected.

Are you using a battery? If so, you probably don’t want to remain connected and may want to make other considerations.

[ScruffR]

Exactly, hence

@ScruffR

If you want to do this frequently you need to take care not to use up all the free sockets by just connecting and never closing the connection.

The snippet above is not as a best practice sample but only proof of concept (based on the not working code with minimal corrections).
