failing to make ic2cloud connection

I am trying to submit data to an ic2cloud server, using test code,.. However, my efforts are failing with various errors.

I have tried more variants than I care/can list but none successfully submit data to the cloud,. is anyone able to spread some light on the error of my ways,...
Are there any things I can change to improve the error reporting,.. as I am at a loss..

Many tx

  client.print("GET http://" + String(host) + ":" + String(httpPort) + "/Wire/connector/set?id=" + devId + "&TEMPERATURE=" + getTemperature() + " HTTP/1.1");   // submit HTTP request

Why are you pretending to do a HTTP 1.1 request but you don't comply to the protocol? For example the "Host" header field is mandatory in HTTP 1.1.

Options 3 and 4 provide a URL and not a path on the GET line which the server correctly replies with a Bad Request.

Option 2 is probably correct but the server www.ic2pro.com seems to always reply with a 502 error (at least test with a browser indicates this). So there might be a problem on the server side or you have to provide documentation of that server application. If this is a publicly available service it doesn't seem to be standards conforming.

Many tx Pylon for your comments,... I have been trying to adapt some "reference" code from the ic2lcoud site and a derivative from the "instructables" web site.
The ic2cloud submission code is as follows:-

 if (eth.connect(server, port)) {                                                          // initialize HTTP connection on port 80
    eth.println("GET http://" + String(server) + ":" + String(port) + "/Wire/connector/set?id=" + devId + "&TEMPERATURE=" + temperature+ " HTTP/1.1");   // submit HTTP request
    eth.println("Authorization: Basic " + auth);
    eth.println("Connection: close");
    eth.println();
    Serial.println("Temperature sent to server.");
  }
  else {
    Serial.println("Connection Error");
  }
  eth.stop();
}

and the adapted code from the Instructables web site ( which uses the ESP8266 Module) is:-

 // We now create a URI for the request
  String url = "/Wire/connector/set?id=" + devId + "&TEMPERATURE="+getTemperature();
  
  // This will send the request to the server
  client.print(String("GET ") + url + " HTTP/1.1\r\n" +
               "Authorization: Basic " + auth + "\r\n" + 
               "Host: " + host + "\r\n" + 
               "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
  delay(10);

I have been trying to use the ESP8266 code although I have purchased an Ethernet card for Arduino to run the reference code,.. I have tried all sorts of variations/tweaks on the submission code but nothing seems to make a successful link to the server.
based on your comments the "Option2",.. is the correct format,.. I have further tried including port numbers and varying the delay,.. but they all seem to give the 502 Bad Gateway.... response.
My Current Incarnation of the code for 8266 is as follows:-

  Serial.println("Running option2");
  client.print(String("GET ") + url + " HTTP/1.1\r\n" +
               "Authorization: Basic " + auth + "\r\n" +
               "Host: " + host + ":" + String(httpPort) +"\r\n" +
               "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
//  delay(2);
  Serial.print(String("GET ") + url + " HTTP/1.1\r\n" +
               "Authorization: Basic " + auth + "\r\n" +
               "Host: " + host + ":" + String(httpPort) +"\r\n" +
               "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");

which produces the following response ( additional CR removed to save space):-

Am I being a dummy and doing something stupid?... as the really dumb thing is I had the code working,.. and then somewhere along the way the code stopped working,.. I assume because I did something dumb,.. but going back to previous backups,.. I cannot make the code work... and now I am struggling to get the reference code working... :confused:

I have attached my full esp8266 code,.. which basically reads temperatures,. displays them on an i2c display, submits (tries) to the cloud, and controls a fan.

Any help,.. humbly received

Temp_Freezer_alarmV0.70a.ino (24.6 KB)

That server seems to always return 502 "Bad Gateway". Try that stuff in your browser first, once you got it running there go to the Arduino.

Post a link to the site's documentation.

Many Tx Pylon for responding,.. But without sounding a little dumb,.. what should cut and paste into the browser..
as some lines contain the web address,. some open the connection 1st,.. I can see many ways of formatting to paste into the browser..
What would be a correctly formatted example stream.. from the data I am using... and what should I expect back...

Many thanks

What would be a correctly formatted example stream.. from the data I am using... and what should I expect back...

I don't use an example stream or the like. I simply enter the URL:

http://www.ic2pro.com/Wire/connector/set?id=111-222-444&TEMPERATURE=23.4

I know that this is missing the authentication but if the server responds with an 502 that's not the problem (correct answer would be 401 Authentication Required). So it seems that this server is broken.

Thankyou thankyou thankyou,.. Ah yes,.. that was what I did not understand,.. was how to feed the authentication in,.. and what should be a correct response,... let me see if the actual server people have any comment...
