Hello everbody

I'm new to mbed and I try to connect my mbed to my apache server running on linux.

Can anyone tell me what I need to know to handle the webserver and how I'm able to send data from the webserver to the mbed?

thanks!

Hi

You can try this example code

http://mbed.org/users/donatien/programs/HTTPClientExample/5ze8l/docs/HTTPClientExample_8cpp_source.html

In example the ethernet of mbed will get IP from DHCP server

EthernetNetIf eth;

but you can config to fix ip by change as following

EthernetNetIf eth(
    IpAddr(192,168,1,5), //IP Address
    IpAddr(255,255,255,0), //Network Mask
    IpAddr(192,168,1,1), //Gateway
    IpAddr(192,168,1,1)  //DNS
);

and do you know how to send data from the apache website to the mbed? I have a checkbox on the website and I want to send an event to the mbed if the checkbox is clicked.
