Wish ESP8266 HTTP client library

[Brad]

I was wondering if someone has already wrapped the below library or if someone could. My project requires uploading sensor data to a MySQL db. I looked at using MQTT but it seemed a little convoluted and from I could determine, MQTT doesn't give me the ability to know if the data was successfully uploaded.

Here's the link to the library

Everything you need is already available here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/rdc-based-on-mqtt.72416/#content

MQTT is less convoluted and more lightweight than HTTP.

MQTT doesn't give me the ability to know if the data was successfully uploaded.

Check the link above.

Erel, I did see that thread but it won't work for my project. My company is developing a product for a customer that will have hundreds of thousands of modules at numerous locations transmitting sensor data so I plan on using Amazon RDS. We are currently in testing and each sensor transmits data to a local computer which then it uploads to a DB. For scaling purposes(and cost) I'm switching to the 8266 and having each one upload to the DB. I would like to use AWS IoT service but from what I could find the 8266 isn't able to use the service.

From what I can determine AsyncStreams doesn't return results of the post request.

AsyncStreams returns everything that it receives. Maybe you are closing it too early.
