Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 3 This application demonstrates how to make HTTP and HTTPS requests and parse the response from mbed OS 5.
Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 4
Jan Jongboom 11:72c089200302 5 It consists of four demo's, which you can select in ``source/select-demo.h``.
Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 6
Jan Jongboom 11:72c089200302 7 * HTTP demo:
Jan Jongboom 4:27fd8efb5bab 8 * Does a GET request to http://httpbin.org/status/418.
Jan Jongboom 4:27fd8efb5bab 9 * Does a POST request to http://httpbin.org/post.
Jan Jongboom 11:72c089200302 10 * HTTPS demo:
Jan Jongboom 4:27fd8efb5bab 11 * Does a GET request to https://developer.mbed.org/media/uploads/mbed_official/hello.txt.
Jan Jongboom 4:27fd8efb5bab 12 * Does a POST request to https://httpbin.org/post.
Jan Jongboom 11:72c089200302 13 * HTTP demo with socket re-use.
Jan Jongboom 11:72c089200302 14 * HTTPS demo with socket re-use.
Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 15
Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 16 Response parsing is done through [nodejs/http-parser](https://github.com/nodejs/http-parser).
Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 17
Jan Jongboom 17:97b1dd566b07 18 **Note:** HTTPS requests do not work on targets with less than 128K of RAM due to the size of the TLS handshake. For more background see [mbed-http](https://developer.mbed.org/teams/sandbox/code/mbed-http).

Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 20 ## To build
Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 21
Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 22 1. Open ``mbed_app.json`` and change the `network-interface` option to your connectivity method ([more info](https://github.com/ARMmbed/easy-connect)).
Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 23 2. Build the project in the online compiler or using mbed CLI.
Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 24 3. Flash the project to your development board.
Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 25 4. Attach a serial monitor to your board to see the debug messages.
Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 26
Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 27 ## Entropy (or lack thereof)
Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 28
Jan Jongboom 17:97b1dd566b07 29 On all platforms **except** the FRDM-K64F, FRDM-K22F and EVK-ODIN-W2, the application is compiled without TLS entropy sources. This means that your code is inherently unsafe and should not be deployed to any production systems. To enable entropy, remove the `MBEDTLS_NO_DEFAULT_ENTROPY_SOURCES` and `MBEDTLS_TEST_NULL_ENTROPY` macros from mbed_app.json.

Jan Jongboom 19:fbf5b033149a 31 ## Flash size
Jan Jongboom 19:fbf5b033149a 32
Jan Jongboom 19:fbf5b033149a 33 Default flash size for HTTPS is very large, as the application is loading the default mbed TLS configuration. To use a more optimized version, include `mbedtls_config.h` in your mbed_app.json, by adding:
Jan Jongboom 19:fbf5b033149a 34
Jan Jongboom 19:fbf5b033149a 35 ```
Jan Jongboom 19:fbf5b033149a 36 "MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE=\"fotalora_mbedtls_config.h\""
Jan Jongboom 19:fbf5b033149a 37 ```
Jan Jongboom 19:fbf5b033149a 38
Jan Jongboom 19:fbf5b033149a 39 to the `macros` array.

Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 41 ## Tested on
Jan Jongboom 0:85fdc69bc10c 42
