I have an Arduino UNO and a wifi module ESP8266 ESP-01.

I'm looking for how should I make a HTTP GET Request to an external webserver ?

Thanks !

- Sat Aug 08, 2015 6:56 pm #25396 At a high level, you will probably want to hook your Arduino Serial to the ESP8266 and send AT commands to drive the ESP8266 device. What I suggest you do is read through the forum and the available literature (books, forums, etc etc) to understand how to drive the ESP8266 through AT programming. Understand also that the ESP8266 is both a WiFi enabler for an Arduino (which I think is what you want) as well as an MCU in its own right ... this forum is specifically about using the Arduino IDE to program the ESP8266 directly using the Arduino IDE tooling.

Aw. Sorry. Is there any section where I can ask the 'question' ?

Actually, I already have the code and it seems to work but.. Anyways., this isn't the right place. :c

PS: I just saw that you had written a book. I'll probably read some part of it. Congratulation, it seems to be very complete.

I still think that studying the AT command story is going to be your best bet.
