jim hamblen / Mbed OS 4180TCPSocket_Example

Alternative TCPSocket example using an HTTP GET to read a short "helloworld" text web page using a different server

Fork of ARMs demo HTTP socket demo. ARM's server was redirected and the demo was no longer working. An alternative server was setup and the code was modified to display the web page text in addition to just "200 OK". Only works for a very short web page - buffer only 500 characters but RAM is running out on the LPC1768 in the demo!
