Sending HTTP POST Request

Joe2 — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 23:44:33 GMT

I need to send a simple HTTP POST request from my 52259-based MQX device to a web server.

Could anyone point me to an example? I can see lots of web servers, but no HTTP GET or POST client examples.

Thanks a lot

Joe

Web_HVAC uses post method to send data to web server. Check out \demo\web_hvac\web pages\hvac_input.html. The corresponding cgi routin is "cgi_hvac_output" in cgi_hvac.c.

I took web_hvac as example. Hope it helps.

Marco

Hi Marco

I wasn't clear enough with my question, sorry.

I want to send an HTTP POST request from my device to a web server somewhere on the internet... so I can post information gathered by my device to a central server somewhere.

Thanks

Joe

I wrote my own in the end.

Was OK.

I recommend it as a kind of Zen meditation exercise to others.
