That video is very helpful! Your examples and git repos helped me get my wemos d1 r2 board working, sending a get request to my site and getting back json response 🎉

just in case someone faces the same issue... I had to add client.setInsecure(); before if (client.connect(host, worked fine after this. Cheers. Thanks for sharing your brilliant work, Brian.

I rarely comment, but you deserve the praise "supremely well done." This is clear, concise, and /narrated/ without ridiculous background music. I'm so sick of video "tutorials" that blare some pointless music while you watch--in 480p--someone slowly type pseudo-English instructions in Notepad while switching back and forth to an app that isn't even completely shown. I'm hoping to take what you wrote and apply it to access the Glympse HTTP REST API (to monitor my phone's location).

Absolutely brilliant mate! You just made a load of stuff I have to do very easy. Keep up the great work. I've subbed and am looking forward to some more of your work!

Hi, cool job Brian...may I ask you A simple Question...How To Upload a secure sensor data using HTTPS ?? this will be a very
useful information to everyone...I hope to get an answer from you soon..thanks man

[Jesse-kfik]

See you just posted this! Nice tutorial I will likely use it!

[kadenzxc]

This is not using HTTPS, it's just using HTTP with the HTTPS library. Not secure, bad use of the library. I found what I needed by looking up documentation for the WiFiClientSecure library.

it works with esp32 with wifi.h library, but only about 2 hours? what would be the problem? i use esp32 to upload sensor data directly to google sheets via HTTPS GET

[anumsheraz]

Excellent ! is the library out now ?
You've some useful stuffed videos in your channel. I am subbed !

Hi Brian, have you one example to get o post with a esp8266 but with the actual servers where they use https secure conection, I try this but doesn't work, thanks

[netrafter]

You are brilliant!!. I have a similar requirement so I first tried your code but could not connect to host and get msg "Error getting title.". Found that client.connect(host, 443) is not making connection after wifi connection.
Could you please help.

Hi Brian..! Great Video.. Can you do a video to get data from a google api (Blogger api to get page Views) which need to send OAuth token in the http header . Thank You

[mattrebong]

You did not include the ESP8266Wifi.h library, and other libraries that is needed for your arduino source code.

[MPElectronique]

You did a great work, keep going.
I try your sketch and work good, then try to connect to other SSL web site, www.google.com work fine, www.google.ca not connecting and few other. do you have a explaination or a point start to search.
My guest is the encryption method the one I try to connect is RSA (2048 Bits).


Thank's
