Application/json post issues on HL7800

IoT Modules HL78
1

Having a bit of a struggle with trying to do a JSON post on the HL7800

Maybe you have an example of AT+httpheader for a post of application/json type?

We are using the HL7800 module to get/send data to a web service with HTTP get/post
The HTTP Get part works fine but the problem is HTTP POST

What we do is:

  • AT+KHTTPCFG=1,“www.someplace.com”,8888,0
  • AT+KHTTPHEADER=1 After we send “Content-Type: application/json” + RETURN. “–EOF–Pattern–” We get OK from module.
  • AT+KHTTPPOST=1,"/api/v1/hc" (we get CONNECT). After we send data.

It seems the server connection is working and the server gets some data, but something is wrong. We get “Bad Request” from the server and also server answer to us that “we are sending TEXT/PLAIN” data (you can see in the attached screenshot).

It seems that the command AT+KHTTPHEADER=1 is not working/is not accepted by the module.

Hi @Rique,

I recommend you:

  • Verify your module on httpbin.org with same above flow
  • Enable flow control by AT&K3. You will need to enable hardware flow control for the terminal as well
    Thanks

Thanks. A few questions.

  1. can we see the commands you use to set everything up? That seems to be mostly output
  2. We have only a 3 wire connection to the HL7800 from our processor. Is this an issue?

Hi Rique,
It is highly recommended to configure the module for hardware flow control using command AT&K3 but I tried on AT&K0 too, It works on both. Here is result I tried on a 3 wire connection to the HL7800.
