I have an UNO with and ethernet shield and i'm using it as a web server. I'm trying to determine if the requested URL contains the words "warm" or "cool". I'm appending the results of client.read() to a string and then trying to use indexOf() on it. Here's part of my code. I'm putting the word "warm" into my url but it never turns the 'mode' variable to "warm". I'm thinking maybe indexOf is being thrown off because it might contain '\n' or '\r' but that's a complete guess. Anybody know what's going on here?
while (client.connected()) {
if (client.available()) {
char c = client.read();
//cast c to a string so we can append it
Cc = String(c);
requestString += Cc;
if (c == '\n' && currentLineIsBlank) {
Serial.print(requestString);
//try to get mode('cool' or 'warm') from request string
if(requestString.indexOf("warm") >=0){
mode = "Warm";
}
if(requestString.indexOf("cool") >=0){
mode = "Cool";
}
}
