Read HTTP from cRIO rt controller

[ShaneBe]

Hi.  I am currently trying to set up a DAQ that reads sensor values from a website.  The sensor instrumentation uploads data to a website using a web server and http protocol.  I try to different ways to read this website.  First, I opened a datasocket connection using the website as the url, and read string data from datasocket.  The second way was to simply use a HTTP Get VI to get the body code of the website.  Both ways worked on my Windows computer, but did not work when I tried to run this code on my target device (cRIO RT).  Is there some software that I am missing that will not let the cRIO device use a HTTP protocol?  I am currently running LabVIEW 2016 on a Windows 7 computer and LabVIEW 16.0 Real Time on the cRIO device.

Is the cRIO on the same network?  That's the first thing I'd troubleshoot.  If it's connected directly to the PC, I'd expect it is on a different network than the PC is using to access the internet.  Can you plug the cRIO in through your router?

The Windows 7 PC I am using, the cRIO RT target, and the sensor are all connected to the same network via Ethernet.

I found a work around for this.  Use the IP address instead of the domain name of the sensor.  I also had to set up a IP reservation for the sensor on my network.
