Solution

  • You just have to use TCPCONNECT to establish the connection.

    PRINT #4 "<TCPCONNECT 192.168.0.51:3000>"

    Use STATUS(3) to check if the connection has been established or not.

    IF STATUS(3)
    SETLCD 1,1,"Connected"
ELSE
    SETLCD 1,1,"NOT Connected"
    GOTO 100
ENDIF

    Then send the request

    PRINT #4 "GET /hello.htm HTTP/1.1"
PRINT #4 ""   ' this is important

    You have to follow the HTTP protocol format. For other methods, refer https://www.jmarshall.com/easy/http/#othermethods
