HTTPClient( const  char  * hostname  =  NULL, struct  ip_addr  ip  =  ip_addr_any, struct  ip_addr  nm  =  ip_addr_any, struct  ip_addr  gw  =  ip_addr_any, struct  ip_addr  dns  =  ip_addr_any )

Creates an HTTPClient object.  You might want to initialise the network server befor.  If you dont do it it will be happen by the first post or get request you make.

To initialize the network server on creation of the HTTPClient object it’s possible to parse some arguments.

Variables

Example

HTTPClient http;         // Simple DHCP, brings up the TCP/IP stack on first get/post reguest.

HTTPClient http("worf"); // Brings up the device with DHCP and sets the host name "worf"
                         // The device will be available under worf.<your local domain>
                         // for example worf.1-2-3-4.dynamic.sky.com

HTTPClient http("wolf",              // Brings up the device with static IP address and domain name.
                IPv4(192,168,0,44),  // IPv4 is a helper function which allows to rtype ipaddresses direct
                IPv4(255,255,255,0), // as numbers in C++.
                IPv4(192,168,0,1),   // the device address is set to 192.168.0.44, netmask 255.255.255.0
                IPv4(192,168,0,1));  // default gateway is 192.168.0.1 and dns to 192.168.0.1 as well.

virtual ~HTTPClient()

Destroys the HTTPClient class.

void headers( const  char  * fields )

Add header additional Information to the next post or get requests.  Somtimes it is useful to add further header information.  For example an auth field.  Each time you call this function it will be replace the header fields given by an prior call.

It will not free your data.  Variables: fields - A string containing all fields you want to add.  Seperated by “\\r\\n”.

void auth( const  char  * user, const  char  * password )

Enables basic authentication.  Just enter username and password and they will be used for all requests.  If you want to lean your username and passwort just insert NULL, NULL.

Variables

unsigned int get( const  char  * url,    char  * result  =  NULL, int  rsize  =  64 )

A simple get-request just insert the url.  But if you want you can get the result back as a string.  Sometimes you want get a large result, more than 64 Bytes than define your size.

Variables

unsigned int get( const  char  * url, FILE  * result )

A simple get-request just insert the url and a FILE Pointer.  This get request will save yor result to an file.  Very helpful if you demat a big bunch of data.

Variables

unsigned int post( const  char  * url,    const  char  * data  =  NULL, char  * result  =  NULL, int  rsize  =  64 )

A simple post-request just insert the url.  You can send data if you want but they should be NULL-Terminated.  If you want you can get the result back as a string.  Sometimes you want get a large result, more than 64 Bytes than define your size.

Variables

unsigned int post( const  char  * url, const  char  * data, FILE  * result )

A simple get-request just insert the url and a FILE Pointer.  You can send data if you want but they should be NULL-Terminated.  This get request will save yor result to an file.  Very helpful if you demat a big bunch of data.

Variables

unsigned int post( const  char  * url, FILE  * data, FILE  * result )

A simple get-request just insert the url and a two FILE Pointers to send the content of the file out and store you results.  Your data to sent can come from a file.  This get request will save yor result to an file.  Very helpful if you demat a big bunch of data.

Variables

unsigned int post( const  char  * url,    FILE  * data  =  NULL, char  * result  =  NULL, int  length  =  64 )

A simple get-request just insert the url and a two FILE Pointers to send the content of the file out and store you results.  Your data to sent can come from a file.  If you want you can get the result back as a string.  Sometimes you want get a large result, more than 64 Bytes than define your size.

void timeout( int  value )

Sets the timout for a HTTP request.  The timout is the time wich is allowed to spent between two incomming TCP packets.  If the time is passed the connection will be closed.
