/** * @example http_get/example.cpp * * This is an example of using the http socket API to * download a webpage. * * It works as follows: * 1. Instantiate the WiConnect Library * 2. Initiate Communication with WiFi Module * 3. Issue a HTTP GET request (Note: The module must have valid network credentials See @ref web_setup/example.cpp) * 4. Read the HTTP page and print * 5.
