HTTP AT Commands

[中文]

AT+HTTPCLIENT: Send HTTP Client Request

Set Command

Command:

AT+HTTPCLIENT=<opt>,<content-type>,<"url">,[<"host">],[<"path">],<transport_type>[,<"data">][,<"http_req_header">][,<"http_req_header">][...]

Response:

+HTTPCLIENT:<size>,<data>

OK

Parameters

  • <opt>: method of HTTP client request.

    • 1: HEAD

    • 2: GET

    • 3: POST

    • 4: PUT

    • 5: DELETE

  • <content-type>: data type of HTTP client request.

    • 0: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

    • 1: application/json

    • 2: multipart/form-data

    • 3: text/xml

  • <”url”>: HTTP URL. The parameter can override the <host> and <path> parameters if they are null.

  • <”host”>: domain name or IP address.

  • <”path”>: HTTP Path.

  • <transport_type>: HTTP Client transport type. Default: 1.

    • 1: HTTP_TRANSPORT_OVER_TCP

    • 2: HTTP_TRANSPORT_OVER_SSL

  • <”data”>: If <opt> is a POST request, this parameter holds the data you send to the HTTP server. If not, this parameter does not exist, which means there is no need to input a comma to indicate this parameter.

  • <http_req_header>: you can send more than one request header to the server.

Notes

  • If the url parameter is not null, HTTP client will use it and ignore the host parameter and path parameter; If the url parameter is omited or null string, HTTP client will use host parameter and path parameter.

  • In some released firmware, HTTP client commands are not supported (see How to understand the differences of each type of module), but you can enable it by ./build.py menuconfig > Component config > AT > AT http command support and build the project (see Build Your Own ESP-AT Project).

Example

// HEAD Request
AT+HTTPCLIENT=1,0,"http://httpbin.org/get","httpbin.org","/get",1

// GET Request
AT+HTTPCLIENT=2,0,"http://httpbin.org/get","httpbin.org","/get",1

// POST Request
AT+HTTPCLIENT=3,0,"http://httpbin.org/post","httpbin.org","/post",1,"field1=value1&field2=value2"

AT+HTTPGETSIZE: Get HTTP Resource Size

Set Command

Command:

AT+HTTPGETSIZE=<url>

Response:

+HTTPGETSIZE:<size>

OK

Parameters

  • <url>: HTTP URL.

  • <size>: HTTP resource size.

Note

Example

AT+HTTPGETSIZE="http://www.baidu.com/img/bdlogo.gif"

AT+HTTPCPOST: Post HTTP data of specified length

Set Command

Command:

AT+HTTPCPOST=<url>,<length>[,<http_req_header_cnt>][,<http_req_header>..<http_req_header>]

Response:

OK
>

The symbol > indicates that AT is ready for receiving serial data, and you can enter the data now. When the requirement of message length determined by the parameter <length> is met, the transmission starts.

If the transmission is successful, AT returns:

SEND OK

Otherwise, it returns:

SEND FAIL

Parameters

  • <url>: HTTP URL.

  • <length>: HTTP data length to POST. The maximum length is equal to the system allocable heap size.

  • <http_req_header_cnt>: the number of <http_req_header> parameters.

  • [<http_req_header>]: you can send more than one request header to the server.
