Hi Shekhar,

Let us focus on one sample at the time and try to make that work.

The HTTPS client sample from the official NCS repo.

It's hard to say what the exact issue is without more information.

• What changes have you done to the default sample?
  
  

This is the output from running the default sample:

hey Martin Lesund thank for you time
 tell me some other way to get this because in this we need ROOT_CA certificate right ?? an I don't think so this is ideal ans some security issue

One more thing I want to know that do we have length limits of URL because when I used a long URL (100+ char) to get JSON its reboot device ? 

[Martin Lesund]

It depends on what you want to achieve. e.g Default sample connects to www.google.com which needs a X.509 certificate provided in the samples/nrf9160/https_client/cert folder.

Connect to your own server, what type of server?
--> To connect to other servers, you might need to provision a different certificate. You can download a certificate for a given server using your web browser. Alternatively, you can obtain it from a dedicated website like SSL Labs.

Then you can put the certificate in PEM format as instructed in the doc.

The certificate is provisioned in the cert_provision() function

Where do you put this "URL"? Please provide more details to help me understand the issue.

Que1) is that necessary to give any certificate for HTTPS connection by nRF9160 ?

Is there any option with out certificate and fingerprints may be ??

Que2) if I used this URL the device rebooting again and again it not even enter in main()

[Martin Lesund]

Q1: For HTTPS it is.

It does sound like you want to connect just to a server using HTTP?
Are you aware of the difference between HTTP and HTTPS?
You could use regular HTTP if you do not want to use certificates for security.

Q2: This is most likely caused by something else. Cannot say without any serial logs etc. Try to enable debug logs from the necessary modules.
note that for the https sample you would also need to change the hostname another place in the code as well.

hey Martin Lesund

I want get and post some JSON data on a server by http protocol with is secure but I'm getting this error

Try to set none to the verification.

Please share the full code so I could try to reproduce the issue.
(We can make this case private if there is sensitive information)

That thing worked for me Thank you for your help

So can you explain me that why we did this? seems like this is not a ideal way so.
