Upen URL with Ethernet Shield

Other Hardware Home Automation

Hi
how can I open an URL with my Arduino ? I have to send data (temperature, ecc.) to my web site (www.mysite.com/data.php?....) and I can't use the IP of the server but the URL

Thanx from Modena (IT)

You must include the "Host:" parameter in the request.

char serverName[] = "www.mysite.com";

  if(client.connect(serverName,80))
  {
    Serial.println(F("connected"));

    client.println(F("GET /data.php HTTP/1.1"));
    client.print(F("Host: ")):
    client.println(serverName);
    client.println(F("Connection: close\r\n"));
  } 
  else
  {
    Serial.println(F("failed"));
    return 0;
  }

You must have a valid dns server ip in the Ethernet.begin() call or the connection will fail.
