IW416 RT1060 http request

[BettyCheng]

Hi there,

I'm currently working on a project using RT1060B and IW416 (AW-AM510). I've successfully tried out the wifi_cli example project and connected to wifi. However, I don't know how to send http request via the wifi connection. 

Many thanks,

Betty

Hello @BettyCheng 

In our demo application, we provide ping cmd to access to internet.

ping [-s <packet_size>] [-c <packet_count>] [-W <timeout in sec>] <ipv4/ipv6 address>

I’ve also tried out the ping cmd. However, it only succeeds when l’m pinging the ip address of the WiFi that I’m currently connecting to, and I’m not sure whether it is normal or not. Also, as far as I know, ping only checks for end to end connection, and I thought that it would be impossible to send http request, such as get, post… by the ping cmd. I’m not sure if I’ve considered it correctly. 

Best regards,

Betty

Hello @BettyCheng 

Could you try ping 8.8.8.8 or 114.114.114.114 to test whether STA access to the internet?

Hello @BettyCheng 

Our board works as station, and you connect to another AP. You want to access to internet. Right?

Yes, that’s the case, the board acts as client. Sorry for not specifying in the post.
