Re: [lwip-devel] Raw TCP HTTP Client

[Simon Kallweit]

Thanks for all the answers. I was actually looking for a client, yes. 
Any socket based implementation is no option for me, as the resources 
are rather limited. We use HTTP mostly in terms of "web services". Our 
devices for example download firmware updates from HTTP servers, or 
upload data, query information etc. Doing this via HTTP, simplifies the 
server architecture a lot, for example load balancing etc. Our former 
linux based devices used libcurl, which was great. But as already 
stated, with the new devices we dont have the same amount of free 
resources (hence, the use of lwIP). Looks like I'm going to write an 
HTTP client based on the RAW API sooner or later. I just assumed that 
there is broader interest for this ;)

Best regards
Simon
