HTTP GET request over PPP using GSM modem

[JPSvanderWalt]

Good afternoon.  I have the Zephyr gsm_modem sample up and running for my GSM modem and a PPP connection is established to the cellular network.  The example does nothing further than creating the connection.  I am able to ping well-known servers using the shell in Zephyr.  I was wondering if I add this to the Zephyr http_get sample would it work out of the box or do I need to do further coding to allow an HTTP GET request to be performed over the established PPP connection via my GSM modem?  Does anyone have experience with communication over PPP using GSM modems for example with HTTP clients, opening sockets, or MQTT clients in zephyr?

Hi,

 

I was wondering if I add this to the Zephyr http_get sample would it work out of the box or do I need to do further coding to allow an HTTP GET request to be performed over the established PPP connection via my GSM modem?

 While I haven't tried this myself, I believe it should work without any extra code from your part, though you might have to set some Kconfig options as well.

CONFIG_MODEM_SOCKET seems to be a good place to start.

However, the Zephyr community might be able to provide more information: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/1.4.2/zephyr/introduction/index.html#community-support
