Download Client with HTTP POST

[Stratosphere]

Hi,

 I need to modify the download_client to download the data from our cloud using the http POST method. The way cloud is implemented is that the device needs to specify a couple of properties for the cloud to deliver the right firmware type/version for the device and it requires a POST method. Can you please provide some assistance with that?

Thank you again, you guys have always been great help!

Hi Noaman,

You can refer to the implementation of HTTP request command #XHTTPCREQ from application HTTP client AT commands — nRF Connect SDK 2.2.0 documentation (nordicsemi.com) to modify the download client library.

Best regards,

Charlie

Thank you Charlie,

Tracing the calls here is what I believe should work if you can just verify it:

(in fota_download.c) -> download_client_start (download_client.c) -> request_send -> http_get_request_send (in http.c).

the main modification will be in the http.c file where I will introduce a new functions (http_post_request_send) that is a copy of the http_get_request_send but replace the GET_HTTPS_TEMPLATE with a POST_HTTPS_TEMPLATE that that approriate api and fileds.

the mods in the download_client will be to support and pass on the right information to this new function.

Let me know if you think i will face any issues. Once I am done, I can share the files here for anyone else to use.

Regards

Noaman
