Notes
This shows you how to tweet from your mbed.
This is basically a simple demo of the HTTPClient and HTTPMap classes, and is a good example for anyone looking to use web-based APIs.
Information
This demo does not yet use the official mbed networking stack
Step-by-step
- Initialize & setup your network interface (here, Ethernet)
- Create your HTTPClient instance
- Write your tweet in an HTTPMap instance
- POST your tweet ;) (but do not try to recover server's response, it's big and useless!)
- Read the result code
...and your tweet is online :).
Results

To go a bit further...
You can also play around with the different storage classes: HTTPMap, HTTPFile, HTTPText (or even create your own)!
