After testing on-site today, I was not able to connect successfully…sort of.
client.connect(server,80) seems to have failed. I get the "connection failed" message from the serial monitor.
But I can ping the device,even after the "connection failed" message.
I also tried sending the base64 encoded string as shown in the code (ignore that it is commented out)
The IT support I was working with was not sure what the problem is on their side, And I'm hoping that you can look at my code and make suggestions from this side.
So, here's my code.
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <SPI.h>
// the media access control (ethernet hardware) address for the shield:
byte mac[] = { 0x90, 0xA2, 0xDA, 0x0F, 0x19, 0x2F };
//the IP address for the shield:
byte ip[] = { XX, XX, XX, XX }; // this is the assigned ip within the LAN
// the router's gateway address:
byte gateway[] = { XX, XX, XX, XX }; // neccessary to get access to the internet via your router
// the subnet:
byte subnet[] = { XX, XX, XX, XX };
//the proxy server
byte server[] = {XX, XX, XX, XX};
EthernetClient client;
void setup()
{
// Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
// start the Ethernet connection:
Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, gateway, subnet);
// give the Ethernet shield a second to initialize:
delay(1000);
Serial.println("connecting...");
// if you get a connection, report back via serial:
if (client.connect(server,80)) {
//client.write("QzF5WXIxXG15cW14FkJheWVyMTIz"); //Base 64 encode user_name:password""
Serial.println("connected");
// Make a HTTP request:
client.println("GET /search?q=arduino HTTP/1.1");
client.println("Host: www.google.com");
client.println("Connection: Close");
client.println();
} else {
// if you didn't get a connection to the server:
Serial.println("connection failed");
}
}
void loop()
{
// if there are incoming bytes available
// from the server, read them and print them:
if (client.available()) {
char c = client.read();
Serial.print(c);
}
// if the server's disconnected, stop the client:
if (!client.connected()) {
Serial.println();
Serial.println("disconnecting.");
client.stop();
// do nothing forevermore:
while(true);
}
}
Thanks
