client.printRedir #49

Hello,

Wonderful library to post data to Google Sheets, but following method to put data is more clear to me how it works: http://embedded-lab.com/blog/post-data-google-sheets-using-esp8266/

I don't understand the following call in the above program: client.printRedir(urlFinal, host, googleRedirHost);

Your printRedir is a void, how are these arguments are passed and processed? It does not work. I searched in the history if you might changed this, but I can't find the right answer.

Sorry I ask you, but have not found the answer somewhere else how this works and what this function does. I was thinking it is splitted now and printRedir is just for putting debug output, To put the data has to be done with another function?

Thanks is advance

The post on that website has not been updated for the latest version of the library. Ver 2 uses a slightly diffent API, which is more intuitive. Please see the example as explained in the Readme.

You now need to use "client->GET()" or "client->POST()" as explained in the Readme and the example.

Thanks for your fast reply, i will try it.

I had the impression it has to do something with the GET function. I set the disp to 1 but did not see any output to the serial, what I did not expect. bool GET(const String& url, const char* host, const bool& disp);

PS: How is the fingerprint working, I generated it according the documentation but always mismatch. With spaces / without spaces, ... ?

@DarkShadowNight Please read through the Readme for links which explain about the fingerprint. You have to generate the fingerprint from the exact geo-location where your esp8266 is located - same wifi network, etc. Is that what you're doing? Plus you've to generate a new one every few days or so. It's explained in there.
