HTTP testing with Simcom SIM7070, SIM7080 Modules


Steps to test HTTP GET with SIM7070, SIM7080 Modules

  • Verify that the device is registered with the network provider
  • Query the network using the AT+CGNAPN command
  • Activate the network bearer using the AT+CNACT command and verify that the activated bearer profile has IP addressed using the AT+CNACT? command.
  • Set up the HTTP parameters using the AT+SHCONF command
  • Set up the HTTP head using  the AT+SHAHEAD command
  • For HTTP PUT requests, setup the URL parameters with the AT+SHPARA command
  • For HTTP POST requests, setup the POST data with AT+SHBOD command
  • Send the HTTP GET/PUT/POST request using the AT+SHREQ command
  • Read the HTTP response using the AT+SHREAD command
