I just got several ESP8266 modules and played with its SDK for a while. I want to make a internet wifi plug for myself. Basically I need to do an http get to get a switch's status from some webpage on internet, and I want to do this from 8266 itself. I studied the SDK for a while and it seems I'll have to use lwip to do it. It seems the lwip source code with 0.92 SDK is some mock version. I'm very new on C. Couldn't get my code work. Has anyone done this?

- Mon Nov 10, 2014 11:31 pm #2456 one simpler way to do it is to compile the AT sample with auto:
-connect to some webserver
AT+CIPSTART
-send data to webserver
AT+CIPSEND

However, I still want to study and make use of lwip in later work. Does anyone has some lwip sample code on 8266?

Have you managed to use the lwip to make a http get/post ?

I have been looking at the ping using lwip buty haven't yet not figured out to get it to work.

Any hints for getting this to work will be appriciated
