i think, the best way is make a simple serial reader and intepreter ON ESP8266, and send commands from another uC to esp, then, esp read and send to wifi,http, etc. AT Commands is VERYYY limited, caution. my opnion is a serial reader

Hi urbanaze, I was just coming back to qualify my previous answer!
I have just been messing around with an ESP-05 for the first time, and you can indeed control it with AT commands!
I am not sure whether it has some custom firmware loaded to enable this, or whether that's how it comes out of the factory. Does anyone know?

OK
So maybe this will be sufficient for the original poster, I don't know. Sorry if I misled previously.
However I would take martinayotte's advice seriously on the limitation of communication with at commands.
OTOH, since the original poster only wants to connect two devices, this might be acceptable.
