HTTPS commands with LabView

[aeroengineer123]

Hi all,

I am a complete WiFi noob. I have an Arduino Nano IoT with an example sketch. Using a browser, when I access to https://myIPaddress/H the LED turns on and https://myIPaddress/L turns it off. I was wondering if this command can be sent through LabView?

Thank you!

I'm guessing you need a browser to run the actual code on the web page.  Unless there's a button to push, but it seems that you are just going there?

In Quick drop (CTRL+Space) type HTTP...

Or in the palette, go to Data Communication>Protocols>HTTP Client.

You'd have to do a OpenHandle, a post, put or get (it depends, all could work), and a CloseHandle.

I think you'll need to look at the source code so you know what to do?  It's funny, I didn't even think of standard http.  That's why I don't create web pages, I suppose.

It's not a website that's opened.

The device has a web server. By doing a HTTP GET, the webserver gets a trigger that does some action based on the URL.

This is pretty much how REST works,  although there can be content in the body of the commands, for instance a value to set, in the form of raw data, XML, JSON.

A URL in a browser does the same, the URL triggers a server. But for webpages, the response is a webpage.
