Hi,
I have the ethernet shield and its working with the webclient examples.
I need to send a value to a PHP page. Here, the value will be checked: if the value is correct it will send back to the arduino a 'true' (otherwise a 'false') ack.
I'm a bit lost about how my http request should be and how to send back the response. I read a few tutorials but I couldn't find a clear template to connect to a custom php page and then send back the response..
thanks
L.
I'm using the webclient example but it won't print out anything that's in the page..

now..at least I get something which is a "error 400 - bad request, the hostname is invalid"
as the website is on a shared hosting I can't use the ip address of the server..I know the name of the server, which is webpub01.ad.aruba.it
sorry, but I am completely lost when I try to understand your issue.
Are you able to connect ?
I see different strange things in your code. You do a \r\n in the first println, but println is sending a new line. And you don't do it in the next line. I would not do that, I would use print, not println and add the CR LF in the string itself.
I am pretty sure that your HTTP header is misformed, it should be checked with a tool like Wireshark.
When I deal with server issues like that, I validate my HTTP code on a PC or a Mac. Once the code is working, I put it on the Arduino, so I am sure that the HTTP is formed correctly (so a problem will come only from the C code itself, not from the HTTP protocol implemented by hands)
That is probably the server saying that there is something wrong with the below. What is the UL that works in a browser? If the preface is https then the arduino won't work.
Client test code you can try unmodified to see if you can get a response from your server. I tried it and got a response from your server.

Hi, thank you. I tried your code but it won't print out anything other than
Just a check, did you type an e in the serial monitor and send it to the arduino? Below is what I get returned when I run the code I posted.
client readString test 11/04/13
Send an e in serial monitor to test
connected
client disconnected.
Data from server captured in readString:

==================
then what's the difference with my previous code that wasn't working?
