http_client network error on thingy91

[rupcar]

Hello,

I am trying to use http requests on Thingy91 and therefore I tried with the sample from zephyr/samples/net/sockets/http_client.

I can build the project without any problem but when I try to run it, I get the following error when I open a putty terminal:

I did not change anything in the code, and I was supposing it was not a network problem since I activated my SIM card and I can run the asset_tracker and see the data in nrFcloud without any issue.

I am using the nrfConnectSDK 2.0.0, and the SIM is from twilio.

Best regards,

C

Hello Carole, 

I did not change anything in the code, and I was supposing it was not a network problem since I activated my SIM card and I can run the asset_tracker and see the data in nrFcloud without any issue.

192.0.2.1 is not a public network address. As described in the sample itself, you need a host system the UE is able to connect to. If you just want to test your Thingy:91 and its SIM card, you are better off using our nRF9160: HTTPS Client.

Hello,

Thank you a lot!

It actually worked with the https_client, I had not try it since I thought it was only for nrf9160.

Since I'm very new with thingy91 and its programming I am still a bit confused what's exactly the difference between the 2 ?
