Grabbing the content from a web page

As the last project in this chapter, we are finally going to use the Wi-Fi connection of the chip to grab the content of a page. We will simply use the www.example.com page, as it's a basic page largely used for test purposes.

This is the complete code for this project:

// Import required libraries
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

// WiFi parameters
constchar* ssid = "your_wifi_network";
constchar* password = "your_wifi_password";

// Host
constchar* host = "www.example.com";

void setup() {
// Start Serial
Serial.begin(115200);

// We start by connecting to a WiFi network
Serial.println();
Serial.println();
Serial.print("Connecting to ");
Serial.println(ssid);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
Serial.print(".");
  }

Serial.println("");
Serial.println("WiFi connected");
Serial.println("IP address: ");
Serial.println(WiFi...
