HTTP Server through WiFly??

04 May 2012

I have been looking for an HTTP Server example that uses the WiFly module instead of an Ethernet connection. Does this exist anywhere? Has anyone looked at it? Thanks for any help.

I did exactly that. I listen on the serial port for *OPEN* that signals a client has connected. Then you can parse the connection string if you want. I just sent back the page to the user. The problem with WiFly modules is they only accept 4 (I think) connection at one time so as a server it is a little limited. I also have problems with stability. The module seems to reset to factory setting every few days of use. This may be a bug in my software. I don't have the mbed code as I ported the code to a smaller Atmel controller some time ago.

Thanks Tiit,

I am only planning to use this when out in the forest with no internet connection. I want to be able to connect using a browser from a phone or other small handheld, so I think 4 connections will be plenty. Do you have any code you can share?
