Hi GUYS
You’ve ALL been a great help so far, thanks a million. I’m learning a lot. Appreciate it.
I’m actually trying to send my GPS Lat, Long and Time data via HTTP to my server. I’m just a bit confused about what exactly to send from my micro after the CONNECT.
I start off with
AT#SGACT=1, 1
#SGA: XX. XX. XX. XX
OK
AT#SD=1, 0, 80, “(my server IP addr)”
CONNECT
Now, here do I enter the following?
GET/HTTP/1.0
(my server IP addr)/(GPS coordinates)
CONNECTION:CLOSE
Is the above correct?
No, thats not valid HTTP.
There are two ways of doing it. One is with a GET request, the other with a POST. Both will require some simple escaping to make a form encoded string. The simplest encoding is to just replace " " (space) with “+” (plus), and as long as you don’t have any other separator characters (&, ;, and a few others) you will get valid data to most servers even if its not totally in spec.
Here is a valid HTTP GET to a script called /myscript.
GET /myscript?gpsdata=$GPGGAetc HTTP/1.0
Host: www.myhost.com
Connection: close
Note the Host line. If your server is virtual hosted, this is required.
POST data follows in the body.
