How to send data to webserver using ESP8266

6v6gt:
I'm pleased you had some success with it.

Doesn't this, from the linked example, write a response to the serial console:

  String payload = http.getString();                  //Get the response payload

Serial.println(httpCode);  //Print HTTP return code
  Serial.println(payload);    //Print request response payload




If not, what, if anything, is your web server sending back in response to your http.POST command ?

It does in HTML. I don't mind the HTML, but I would like to store a specific part of the HTML code as a variable.
