send data to Xtension from Arduino

[James Sentman]

Yes, what Tom said :)

you just need to send a proper HTML header. There are tons of arduino examples for doing this out there as it’s a common way to handle it, but you basically just need to format it as:

GET /token/address/on HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n

the “host” and “connection: closed” headers are fine to send as well before the blank line that ends the headers, but for XTEnsion those are pretty much ignored anyway. There is no virtual hosting so the Host line isn’t important and every connection to the JSON server is closed after it’s handled and no keep-alive connections are allowed at the moment. I might support that in the future as I’ve just written a bunch of code to support real html 1.1 protocols in the plugin system but even so just closing the connection after sending your request will always be good enough.

Thanks,
