Having trouble getting WiFiClient example working
Posted: Sat Apr 24, 2021 11:02 amHere's my version of the code. It didn't like going to the site in the example and neither did Firefox so I wrote a simple php script. It works just fine from wget, curl and browsers but not the esp8266 I have three ESP8266-01 parts and none of them work so I've ruled out a hardware issue I think.
Here's the output:
It looks like it takes about 6 seconds to fail. I have tried to connect to a couple of systems on the lan.
Any help would be appreciated
Thsnks,
Jim
Here's the output:
