- Fri Mar 10, 2017 9:56 pm #63549 Just a quick overview of my current progress.
What I'm trying to do is to save the SSID and the password in the EEPROM.
if there is no value in the SSID and password in the EEPROM it runs as a server where you can set your SSID and password (HTML). when i enter the SSID and Password and click submit it executes okay but the problem is it gives the utf-8 or ASCII (not sure) code of the characters.

Sample output is this

Code: Select allTo see this page in action, connect to Tappluxe_Unit and open a browser to http://192.168.1.1

[WiFiEsp] Server started on port 80
Server started
[WiFiEsp] New client 0
Post data:
49
User: Action-WAPPassword: User: %2B1111%3A%3B1111Buffer:

there is a part that is "%2B"then1111
the %2B is supposedly a "+" but thats what i receive when i send a POST from HTML


below is my code

}




the characters "a" to "z" and "0" to "9" works fine and "-" and "_" works fine too but other characters shows the code, not sure if its during the sending of from the mobile from the html page to the arduino or the library itself.

Sorry kinda messy any help would be appreciated

Thanks!
