Using below code I am able to invoke HTTP Get request, but I am not able to read full HTTP Response. Observing only output like( +IPD,0,141:HTTP/1.7. ). Please let me know how can I read full response? Any Idea what is the issue?

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

#define RX 2
#define TX 3
String WIFI_SSID = "xyz";       // Your WiFi ssid
String PASSWORD = "xys";         // Password


String HOST = "192.168.0.156";
String PATH = "/test";
String PORT = "8080";

int countTrueCommand;
int countTimeCommand;
boolean found = false;

SoftwareSerial esp8266(RX, TX);


void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  esp8266.begin(9600);
  esp8266.println("AT");
  Serial.println(esp8266.read());
  sendCommandToESP8266("AT", 5, "OK");
  sendCommandToESP8266("AT+CWMODE=1", 5, "OK");
  sendCommandToESP8266("AT+CWJAP=\"" + WIFI_SSID + "\",\"" + PASSWORD + "\"", 20, "OK");
}

void loop() {
  String postRequest = "GET " + PATH  + " HTTP/1.1\r\n" +
                       "Host: " + HOST + "\r\n" +
                       "Accept: *" + "/" + "*\r\n" +
                       "\r\n";

  sendCommandToESP8266("AT+CIPMUX=1", 5, "OK");
  sendCommandToESP8266("AT+CIPSTART=0,\"TCP\",\"" + HOST + "\"," + PORT, 15, "OK");
  String cipSend = "AT+CIPSEND=0," + String(postRequest.length());
  sendCommandToESP8266(cipSend, 4, ">");
  sendData(postRequest);
  readESP8266(8000);
  sendCommandToESP8266("AT+CIPCLOSE=0", 5, "OK");
}

void sendCommandToESP8266(String command, int maxTime, char readReplay[]) {
  Serial.print(countTrueCommand);
  Serial.print(". at command => ");
  Serial.print(command);
  Serial.print(" ");
  while (countTimeCommand < (maxTime * 1))
  {
    esp8266.println(command);
    if (esp8266.find(readReplay))
    {
      found = true;
      break;
    }

    countTimeCommand++;
  }

  if (found == true)
  {
    Serial.println("Success");
    countTrueCommand++;
    countTimeCommand = 0;
  }

  if (found == false)
  {
    Serial.println("Fail");
    countTrueCommand = 0;
    countTimeCommand = 0;
  }

  found = false;
}

void sendData(String postRequest) {
  Serial.println(postRequest);
  esp8266.println(postRequest);
  delay(1500);
  countTrueCommand++;
}

void readESP8266(const int timeout)
{
  String reponse = "";
  long int time = millis();
  while( (time+timeout) > millis())
  {
    while(esp8266.available())
    {
      reponse+=esp8266.readString();
    }
  }
  Serial.print(reponse);   
}

Output:

1. at command => AT+CWMODE=1 Success
2. at command => AT+CWJAP="xyz","xys" Success
3. at command => AT+CIPMUX=1 Success
4. at command => AT+CIPSTART=0,"TCP","192.168.0.156",8080 Success

  • +IPD,0,141 means there are 141 bytes data return from the response, your code simply closed too early without read and parsing the data. Commented Aug 7, 2020 at 1:21
  • But I have already added delay of 8 sec, shall I add more delay?? readESP8266(8000); If you can provide any code that will be helpful Commented Aug 7, 2020 at 1:25
  • It is not about the delay (actually 8s is way too long), it is about continue to read the data, sorry I don't have time to write the code for you, but you can read one of my library on reading and parsing the response. Commented Aug 7, 2020 at 1:30
  • @hcheung Thanks for your help, I was able to perform HTTP GET request using LiteESP8266Client.h but 1 issue I am facing is after few call probably Arduino memory is becoming full, any idea how we can fix that Commented Aug 7, 2020 at 13:07

Finally the HTTP Get request with Arduino Uno + ESP8266 Wifi shield which is working is below:

// This is a demo example using a public http server for testing both GET and POST requests

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <LiteESP8266Client.h>

#define PACKET_MTU 1500    // Standard network MTU is 1500 bytes

LiteESP8266 radio;

const char ssid[] PROGMEM = "xyz";    //change it to your wifi SSID
const char password[] PROGMEM = "abc";    //change it to your wifi password
const char host[] PROGMEM = "192.168.0.156";
const int port = 8080;

const char http_get_request[] PROGMEM = "GET /test HTTP/1.1\r\n";
const char http_useragent[] PROGMEM = "User-Agent: Arduino-stm32/0.1\r\n";
const char http_content_type_json[] PROGMEM = "Content-Type: application/json\r\n";
const char http_host[] PROGMEM = "Host: 192.168.0.156\r\n";
const char http_close_connection[] PROGMEM = "Connection: close\r\n\r\n";
const char http_content_length_header[] PROGMEM = "Content-Length: ";
const char success[] PROGMEM = "success";
const char failed[] PROGMEM = "failed";
const char CRLF[] PROGMEM = "\r\n";
const char error_data_null[] PROGMEM = "Error: data came back null.";

void setupStationMode() {
  Serial.print("Setup station mode... ");
  if (radio.set_station_mode()) {
    Serial.println("success");
  } else {
    Serial.println("failed");
  }
}

void joinAP() {
  Serial.print("Join AP ");
  Serial.print(ssid);
  Serial.print("... ");
  if (radio.connect_to_ap(ssid, password)) {
    Serial.println("Success");
  } else {
    Serial.println("Failed");
  }
}

void establishTcpConnect() {
  Serial.print("Establish TCP Connection... ");
  if (radio.connect_progmem(host, port)) {
    Serial.println( "Success");
  } else {
    Serial.println( "Failed");
  }
}

void getHttpPacket() {
  char *data;
  while ((data = radio.get_response_packet(PACKET_MTU, 5000))) {
    if (data) {
      Serial.println("Packet Received...");
      Serial.println(data);
    } else {
      Serial.println(error_data_null);
    }
  }
  free(data);
}

void httpGet() {
  Serial.println("Sending GET request... ");
  radio.send_progmem(http_get_request);
  radio.send_progmem(http_useragent);
  radio.send_progmem(http_host);
  radio.send_progmem(http_close_connection);
}
void setup() {
  delay(2000);
  radio.begin(9600,2,3);
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) {};

  setupStationMode();
  joinAP();
}

void loop() {
  establishTcpConnect();

  httpGet();
  getHttpPacket();
  }

Output:

Setup station mode... success
Join AP ⸮... Success
Establish TCP Connection... Success
Sending GET request... 
Packet Received...

Greetings from Spring Boot!

But one issue I am facing is after few call the HTTP invocation is getting stopped probably memory being full. Will check this.

  • If you run the example on the httpbin.org test site, do you face the same problem? Commented Aug 7, 2020 at 13:38
  • BTW, don't post your new problem as an "answer", since your code is deviated and totally different from your original question, you should post it as a new question. Commented Aug 7, 2020 at 13:39
  • The problem could be coming from your server at 192.168.0.156/test, so you should run your sketch on httpbin.org server to make the problem is not caused by this client sketch first. Commented Aug 7, 2020 at 13:44
  • Posted new Question: arduino.stackexchange.com/questions/77353/… . Though output of 192.168.0.156/test is quite small Commented Aug 7, 2020 at 13:51
  • @hcheung tried with other REST server as suggested and same issue is observed: Commented Aug 7, 2020 at 14:01
