Socket HTTP Client
|
|
##################
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
This sample application implements an HTTP(S) client that will do an HTTP
|
|
or HTTPS request and wait for the response from the HTTP server.
|
|
|
|
The source code for this sample application can be found at:
|
|
:zephyr_file:`samples/net/sockets/http_client`.
|
|
|
|

Building and Running
|
|
********************
|
|
|
|
You can use this application on a supported board, including
|
|
running it inside QEMU as described in :ref:`networking_with_qemu`.
|
|
|
|
Build the http-client sample application like this:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/net/sockets/http_client
|
|
:board: <board to use>
|
|
:conf: <config file to use>
|
|
:goals: build
|
|
:compact:
|
|
|
|
Enabling TLS support
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Enable TLS support in the sample by building the project with the
|
|
``overlay-tls.conf`` overlay file enabled using these commands:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/net/sockets/http_client
|
|
:board: qemu_x86
|
|
:conf: "prj.conf overlay-tls.conf"
|
|
:goals: build
|
|
:compact:
|
|
|
|
An alternative way is to specify ``-DOVERLAY_CONFIG=overlay-tls.conf`` when
|
|
running ``west build`` or ``cmake``.
|
|
|
|
The certificate and private key used by the sample can be found in the sample's
|
|
:zephyr_file:`samples/net/sockets/http_client/src/` directory.
|
|
The default certificates used by Socket HTTP Client and
|
|
``https-server.py`` program found in the
|
|
`net-tools <https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/net-tools>`_ project, enable
|
|
establishing a secure connection between the samples.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running http-server in Linux Host
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
You can run this ``http-client`` sample application in QEMU
|
|
and run the ``http-server.py`` (from net-tools) on a Linux host.
|
|
|
|
To use QEMU for testing, follow the :ref:`networking_with_qemu` guide.
|
|
|
|
In a terminal window:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ ./http-server.py
|
|
|
|
Run ``http-client`` application in QEMU:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/net/sockets/http_client
|
|
:host-os: unix
|
|
:board: qemu_x86
|
|
:conf: prj.conf
|
|
:goals: run
|
|
:compact:
|
|
|
|
Note that ``http-server.py`` must be running in the Linux host terminal window
|
|
before you start the http-client application in QEMU.
|
|
Exit QEMU by pressing :kbd:`CTRL+A` :kbd:`x`.
|
|
|
|
You can verify TLS communication with a Linux host as well. Just use the
|
|
``https-server.py`` program in net-tools project.
