Having great fun (and learning) from the Web Server platform - here on my bench for the last 4 days :), my thoughts are now turning towards a Windows GUI interface to toggle LED2, plus anything else I hang off the header.
I’m guessing a GUI button could ‘talk’ to the server via http, has anyone tried this?
Has anyone any pointers as how to implement this?
At the moment I have a new C# project started, a single button on Form1, but have NO idea what needs to go into the event handler for the button :)

you could get a minimalist pipe running on a nonstandard port to input commands to the web server
Update (& a happy man)....
OK I now have a very basic version working, below is the code for the button click event handler:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// In this method you need to set up an event
int count;
byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
// create the request
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://192.168.0.5/leds.cgi?led=1");
// send request & get a response
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
// process the response
Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
count = responseStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
response.Close();
}
Now I can toggle LED2 via a simple windows application. The learning continues :)
