Hey all,

I need to ping a webserver as a heart beat, basically "http://server.local/[mac]/[ip]/[voltage reading]"

But I don't actually care if it gets a response or what that is. Ideally I want this call to take up as little time as possible so that it can return to taking in udp data and acting on it without a visible "hiccup". I wondered if anyone had any tips on how best to do this?

Cheers,

Sol

I've now switched to using udp packets rather than http calls on both ends to make it simpler
