HTTP sample pack

Shows how to use the HTTP related APIs in System.Net.

Please note that samples are offered in "pairs": one for wired connected targets and another one for Wi-Fi connected targets.

Scenarios

HTTP listener

Example on how to implement a HTTP listener to reply to incoming HTTP requests. Example on how to implement a HTTP listener to reply to incoming HTTP requests for Wi-Fi connected targets..

Note: this is NOT an HTTP server, just a sample to illustrate how to use the HTTP Listener class.

HTTP Web Request

HTTP Azure POST

Illustrates how to connect to Azure and perform POST requests. Illustrates how to connect to Azure and perform POST requests for Wi-Fi connected targets.

Hardware requirements

An hardware device with networking capabilities running a nanoFramework image. This sample is coded to use the STM32F769IDiscovery target board, but can be easily changed to any other target that has networking capabilities.

NOTE: When working with a target with Wi-Fi capabilities, make sure to add HAS_WIFI into the DefineConstants, like this:

<DefineConstants>$(DefineConstants);HAS_WIFI;</DefineConstants>
