Perform a (GET) HTTP request

You can use the XBee to perform a GET Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request using XCTU. HTTP
is an application-layer protocol that runs over TCP. This example uses
website that responds to the HTTP request.
Note For help with debugging, see Debugging.
To perform a GET request:

2. Click the Configuration working mode
3. Select a device from the Radio Modules list. XCTU displays the current firmware settings for
that device.
4. To enter the destination address of the target website, in the DL field, type httpbin.org and
click the Write button
5. To enter the HTTP request port number, in the DE field, type 50 and click the Write button.
Hexadecimal 50 is 80 in decimal.
6. To switch to TCP communication, in the IP field, select 1 and click the Write button.
7. To move into Transparent mode, in the AP field, select 0 and click the Write button.

13. Click the HEX input tab and add 0A (zero A) after each 0D (zero D), and add an additional 0D 0A
at the end of the message body. For example, copy and past the following text into the HEX

the request.
