Hi,

Can you post some examples of what you've tried?

There's an example in the docs using the sockets API to do HTTP manually: http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/e ... k_tcp.html
This is easy because it doesn't require you to copy any additional modules or anything, but you'll have to do a lot more yourself.

Or you can use the http.client lib from micropython-lib: https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... ttp.client
You'll probably need to use upip to install this on your ESP8266.
See https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/ ... kages.html

Code: Select all

import upip
upip.install('micropython-http.client')
Then see https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... _client.py for an example of how to use it.

This the Code that I'm using :

conn = http.client.HTTPConnection("http://192.168.8.100:80/info.php?request = sam")
conn.request("HEAD","/info.php?request = sam")
res = conn.getresponse()
print (res.status, res.reason)
# Result:
print("200 OK")
print("The pastebin URL is:%s"%pastebin_url) 
before using that I tried several time to install the http.client but see below I get an error

Code: Select all

    addr = socket.getaddrinfo(host, 80)[0][-1]
    s = socket.socket()
    s.connect(addr)
    s.send(bytes('GET /%s HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: %s\r\n\r\n' % (path, host), 'utf8'))
    while True:
        data = s.recv(100)
        if data:
            print(str(data, 'utf8'), end='')
        else:
            break
    s.close()
and then executed :

Code: Select all

import socket 
http_get('http://192.168.8.100/info.php?request=samerou')


and as error I got this

Code: Select all

>>> http_get('http://192.168.8.100/info.php?request=samerou')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 5, in http_get
OSError: [Errno 103] ECONNABORTED
Any idea about the two solutions .

To do a HTTP(s) request as a client you can use the urequests module. Install with upip.install('urequests') and then use:

Code: Select all

import urequests
response = urequests.get(URL)
print(response.text)
response.close()
(Make sure to use the latest firmware version.)

I will try it tonight thank you ,

For installing package I use upip.install('urequests') not upip.install('micropython-urequests') ?
Could you please give me info about your latest firmware version ?

Hello Damien ,
I donwload the Package from Micropython-lib/uresquests on Github and installed it on my ESP8266 ,
the

AnyIdeas ?

Note that in the stable release esp8266-20190125-v1.10.bin, urequests is built-in, so when you say import urequests, you are getting that one, not the one on the filesystem, unless you changed sys.path. I don’t know why it doesn’t have a get function for you though, it does for me. What does

Code: Select all

help(urequests)
say?

Edit: Could it be that you have an empty module leftover from an earlier failed import attempt? http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/g ... -as-loaded Try again after a reset.

Did you `import urequests` before `help(urequests)` ?

Sorry about the bad advice earlier with http.client. It might be a good idea to completely clear the filesystem on your ESP8266 and make sure it's not getting confused about other libraries on there.

I did clear everything inside lib then I inserted the urequests and when I did the

import urequests 
It worked but the I get the error when I do the get thing
