Hi

I am just getting started with this Module I would like to make a telnet connection it is possible using Arduino IDE
but would like to make it with flowcode, I have experimented with the HTTP server example it almost works
but the only problem is that the module closes the connection right after sending the data.
is there a way to keep the connection alive?

Hi Alan,

Can you post your project file. You may simply be able to use the keep-alive tag in the header?

hi Benj, thanks for your quick reply.

As I said I am just getting started what I want to accomplish is sending commands to my MCU via HTTP and telnet
but before I start to build my flowchart I want to make sure that I can make the connection using the HTTP and telnet protocol
so for now, I am experimenting the HTTP + Ping example file from the wiki.

Just tried replacing the header but no luck the connection keeps closing down.
Below is how a telnet connection looks like

hi

For all those who need a network to serial bridge for your microcontroller
here is the Answer "esp-link" this free software for esp8266 makes it possible
to establish Telnet to serial connection, send commands to the microcontroller
via it's HTTP web interface, flash connected AVR, ATmega & ARM processors
also, you can send a command to the microcontroller with a GET request from anywhere
just use the example below.

This is exactly what I was looking for hope someone finds it useful as I did.
