I have a Duemilanove with Ethernet shield and am using it as a webclient. I have no difficulty downloading from webpages. I am trying to access webpages with php parameters e.g. the following
I have the following code (modification of the webclient example) and am not able to get it to download from webpages with php parameters. All I get is "connection failed" and then it disconnects. If I change the serverName from "en.wikipedia.org" to "www.wikipedia.org", it connects but gives message that the document was not found.Can anyone suggest what might be happening here.
/*
Web client
This sketch connects to a website (http://www.google.com)
using an Arduino Wiznet Ethernet shield.
