Has anyone been able to get it to work?
I am beyond myself and am very frustrated with it. I have gone through every example that I could find with no luck. If anyone can point me to one sample that works (please do not suggest the GHI default one - been there done that) I would be beyond overjoyed to see this work.
I have struggled through every module so far including the wifi and sercam. I am wondering if I should pack it in and go raspberry.
Any help would be very appreciated.
I can’t say I have tried the WiFi module, so can’t directly help you.
But there are others that DO report that the GHI code works. Can you tell us about your router? And do you have a smartphone with Wifi Access Point that you can also try
Hi your tricky part lies in the header that you are sending to the browser. I got it working(also after a long struggle!) on Internet Expolrer. I am still tying to get it to work on Safari / Mozilla
etc. :’(
void wifi_RN171_HttpRequestReceived(GTM.GHIElectronics.HttpStream request)
{
string requestedURL = request.Request.URL;
Debug.Print(requestedURL);
if (requestedURL == "/")
{
string document = "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd\">";
document +="<html><head>\n";
document += "<title>Transtech R&D</title></head>\n";
document += "<body style=background-Color:#CCFF66><h1><em>Hallo, from Cobra II - G120 embedded .NETMF system !</em></h1>\n";
document += "<hr><h2>RN 171</h2></hr>";
document += "<hr>Sotware development by: Ulf<hr></hr>\n";
document += "</body></html>";
//HeaderData["Content-Length"] = document.Length.ToString();
request.Response.HeaderData["Content-type"] = "text/html";
request.Response.HeaderData["Content-Length"] = document.Length.ToString();
request.Response.HeaderData["Connection"] = "close";
request.Response.HeaderData["Cache-Control"] = "no-cache";
request.Response.StatusCode = GTM.GHIElectronics.HttpResponse.ResponseStatus.OK;
//Header data is automatically applied for you when you chose to send.
request.Response.Send(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(document));

}You may be having issues in other browsers because they are more secure. Instead of using \n (Windows only new line feed) you should use \r\n (Universal new line feed) for anything HTML.
What is your host board? Also, which set of example code are you using, and, in the most detail possible, what and how exactly is not working? Is it only partially serving the request? Does it respond with any data at all, or is it timing out?
After battling with it for over a week, it is finally running. My goal is to provide the code.
LF: Multics, Unix and Unix-like systems (GNU/Linux, OS X, FreeBSD, AIX, Xenix, etc.), BeOS, Amiga, RISC OS and others.
CR+LF: Microsoft Windows, DEC TOPS-10, RT-11 and most other early non-Unix and non-IBM OSes, CP/M, MP/M, DOS (MS-DOS, PC DOS, etc.), Atari TOS, OS/2, Symbian OS, Palm OS, Amstrad CPC
LF+CR: Acorn BBC and RISC OS spooled text output.
CR: Commodore 8-bit machines, Acorn BBC, ZX Spectrum, TRS-80, Apple II family, Mac OS up to version 9 and OS-9
RS: QNX pre-POSIX implementation.
Also, the HTTP spec says that protocol elements (headers etc) should use \r\n as a line ending, but that in the interest of interoperability, browsers should actually use the \n and ignore the \r if it precedes the \n.
For the body, the spec doesn’t specify, and any line ending style will work in any browser, modern or ancient.
