ESP8266 Community Forum

I was wondering if somebody knows a module (ESP8266 supported) that can help me doing HTTPS requests. I want to use the ESP8266 to send requests to Parse.com, but unfortunately Parse only allows HTTPS requests for their API.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Michael.

HTTPS is very heavyweight for microcontrollers. Until someone develops support for it, you could use something like https://www.stunnel.org/index.html as a proxy (on a machine you control) to bounce requests to Parse.com.

You would set up a mapping in client mode, and connect to your STunnel box on a certain port and the config file determines how to map the connections.

ESP8266->[HTTP]->PC running STunnel w/proper config->[HTTPS]->Parse.com

Best,
