SIM900 HTTP post anyone succeeded??

[mutthunaveen]

Dear Forum

I've done a lot of googling and still failed to get a working example for
SIM900 HTTP post request.

Here is my code after internet connection successful.

I haven't worked with SIM900. I don't know if it's any help but ctrl-Z is ASCII 26.

Hi, I'm not familiar with that module but i am familiar with 2G connections.

First off, does your modem support http? Does it have a native stack? There should be an app note if it does

There is alot you are either not doing or not showing.
You need to set up you modem properly for "internet use".

Stuff like setting you APN based on your Cell Carrier...enable GPRS connections, set up ports, .... its about 10 steps.
The datasheet for your module should have the AT commands required.... figuring out the right sequence might take some trials.

What is your goal?

I don't use it either but when I googled...SIM900 HTTP post request.. I got 28,000+ hits and some say 'solved', so I'd be looking there...

While the code won't be in CCS C...it should be easy to convert.

hmm yes. There are 10 steps to follow, and yes i have them all in my code which i did not write them all here.

I was able to get information from internet with HTTP GET request... it works very well.

and of course my modem supports internet protocols.

and when I'm trying to POST to internet (my request is provoking the page in internet but the variable data is not posting there. So in webpage the value is reading as "0" each time).

and from google there are so many answers where few of them are posted as [solved] but if i read in detail no one succeeded. They are all fake posts (arduino) and they used GET request for posting data. (actually that solves the purpose but that is not correct way).

Product application notes are not so solid (the are no practical examples).

So, if someone have succeeded plz do help me.

thank you.

... my best guess is that you are trying to log data via some sort of REST or the likes API.

We cant help you if you dont show your work.

you need to set up a connection to the "cloud server" then you need to send the GET/POST request with a specific number of bytes you are sending, socket configurations, other steps... there are a lot of steps, and we are not seeing you do any of them.

your browser does all this automatically... your PIC needs to handle these things one by one and YOU have to code it.

Ive had "Clouds" that require UTF-8 encoding...others dont...what does your system require? are you using your own server? what are you using? PHANT? some REST API? Adafruit.IO? ...

there is alot of information missing and we cant really help you based on what you have presented.

re:
with the above everything works but my SQL is saving value as "0"

OK, You need to show us your real code ! I can think of several reasons why it isn't working but without seeing your code I'm not about to say 'this is why' or 'this is wrong'.
