Introduction

This is a basic Hello World program for interfacing the ESP8266 chip with HTTP. It will execute a GET on httpbin.org/get, and a POST to httpbin.org/post.

ESP8266_HTTP_HelloWorld

  1. change ssid and passphrase to match your wifi connection
  2. Initialize ESP8266 with DHCP enabled
  3. Get mbed.org
    1. Print the information retrieved
  4. Post to httbin.org
    1. Print the information retrieved

You can view the information retrieved through a serial terminal set to 9600 baud.

Successful Execution

you should see something like the following on the terminal if the program successfully executes. /media/uploads/mbedAustin/httpclient.png
