SOLVED HTTP client library.... not for Yun only yay

I just read about the HTTP client library in another thread, and got the impression it's a Yun thing.

Is it?- and / or does it work on E'net Wiznet 5100 shields?

I surmise the client.get() sends a GET containing a literal which looks like it would make requests a lot simpler.

EDIT.... found it on github, going to try it later when I get home.

Tried it and it works.... even parses the response.

(For some reason, it doesn't like arduino.cc (err = -3) but goes to google.com and jimbrown.co.za)

So, just for a laff I Googled to see if anyone had implemented an HTCPCP (RFC2324) server...

If you run the SimpleHTTPExample with:

const char kHostname[] = "htcpcp.azurewebsites.net";
const char kPath[] = "/api/v1/htcpcp/1";

... you will find a 418 code :smiley:

Monitor output:

startedRequest ok
Got status code: 418
Content length is: 12

Body returned follows:
I'm a teapot

The message is silent as to the shortness and stoutness.

Better yet, see if you can grab a whole bunch of pigeons and create an IPoAC network to deliver the HTCPCP data. Don't know where you'd stick the Ethernet shield though.
