Which boards are HTTPS capable?

Projects Networking, Protocols, and Devices

Hi folks,

I am new to Arduino and currently have Arduino UNO.

I am now really confused which boards are capable of HTTPS and which not. What I have learnt from the forum and google is Arduino UNI is NOT HTTPS capable. But what about MKR 1000 and MKR 1010? Are they able to send HTTPS requests? If yes, what about UNO Wifi? Because the WiFiNINA library also supports it.

Thanks in advance for claraficaiton.

If you are interested in HTTPS, then you best get an ESP8266 or ESP32 board for your project. Mating wifi to the typical arduino is somewhat involved from what I've seen.

the WiFiNINA has WiFiSSLClient. it is supported by the NINA module so it works for Uno WiFi too. even if you would wire an Esp32 with Aruino NINA firmware to an ordinary Uno or other AVR board, it would support secure connection with WiFiNINA library.

for MKR 1000 and WiFi101 shied the WiFi chip firmware supports secure connection with WiFiSSLClient over WiFi101 library.

In theory all SAMD boards should support secure connection even with Ethernet, but as far as I know nobody put the BearSSL library together with Ethernet library.
