Hey guys,

First thanks for the mbed! I've been away from programming for quite some time now (3 years) but always wanted to get back into it.

 

I have the mbed up and working, and have played with most of the onboard functions but am having trouble getting the http client working.

#include "mbed.h"
#include "HTTPClient.h"

using namespace std;

DigitalOut led(LED1);
HTTPClient http;

const char user[] = "gxs.inc@gmail.com";
const char pass[] = "***";
const char msg[] = "status=Hello World. Posted via my mbed microcontroller";
const char url[] = "http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml";

int main(void) {
    http.auth(user, pass);   
    //test code
    http.post(url, msg);
    while(1) {
        led = !led;
        wait(0.2);
    }   

}
where the test code comment is i had a printf function and it did print out to tera term which did print.

 

just wondering what could be going wrong
