This is a quick example of a simple HTTP client program using the network-socket API that is provided as a part of mbed-os. The program brings up an underlying network interface, and uses it to perform an HTTP transaction over a TCPSocket.

mbed_official 0:17bd84fc5087 3 This is a quick example of a simple HTTP client program using the
mbed_official 33:d470701728e6 4 [network-socket API](https://os.mbed.com/docs/latest/reference/network-socket.html) that [Mbed OS](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os) provides.

mbed_official 5:3e952c60d705 9 **Note:** The current example is limited to the ethernet interface on supported devices.
mbed_official 5:3e952c60d705 10 To use the example with a different interface, you will need to modify main.cpp and
mbed_official 5:3e952c60d705 11 replace the EthernetInterface class with the appropriate interface.
