mbed-js-http v1.0.2

mbed.js wrapper for mbed-http

JS on mbed driver for HTTP calls, based on sandbox/mbed-http.

This wrapper was generated via mbed-js-wrapper-generator.

Usage

1. In your Gulp-based mbed.js project, run:

   $ npm install mbed-js-http --save

2. Install the native library:

   $ cd node_modules/mbed-js-http
   $ mbed add $(cat mbed-http.lib)
   $ cd ../..

3. Clear your build directory:

   $ rm -r build/out

4. Use the library via:

   var network = /* get a network connection from somewhere... See below. */
   
   var get = HttpRequest(network, http_method.HTTP_GET, 'http://httpbin.org/status/418');
   var gres = get.send();
   
   print("Status is " + gres.status_code());

Getting a network connection

HTTPS

This library does not support HTTPS right now. The underlying library (mbed-http) however does. I've left it out right now because:

• HTTPS requires mbed TLS, which is relatively big, especially when combining it with JerryScript.
• It cannot be linked out when not using it (as in C++).

If you want HTTPS:

• Change #include http_request.h into #include https_request.h.
• Rename all HttpRequest instances to HttpsRequest.
• Note that the constructor for the JS object changes, so you'll need to do a little work there (one extra parameter).

Todo

• send() is synchronous. Should not be synchronous.
• Header allocation should be on the heap. Now the lib often runs out of stack memory when reading the headers.
