HTTP testing with Simcom SIM7500, SIM7600, SIM7100 and SIM53XX Modules
Steps to test HTTP GET with SIM7500, SIM7600, SIM7100 and SIM53XX Modules
- Verify that the device is registered with the network provider
- Specify the host name with the AT+CHTTPACT command
- Once the device responds with +CHTTPACT: REQUEST, send the HTPP formatted data
- If the request is successful, HTTP response is sent with the +CHTTPACT:DATA response from the device.
AT Command Tester Tool provides an interface to test the HTTP GET connection with the Simcom modules. Enter the host name and the URL fields and press the ‘HTTP GET’ button.
For HTTP POST,
- Specify the host name with the AT+CHTTPACT command
- Build HTTP POST request with the host name, URL and the post parameters.
- AT Command Tester Tool provides an interface to test the HTTP POST connection with the Simcom modules. Enter the host name, URL and the post data fields and press the ‘HTTP POST’ button.

Try the script in AT Command Tester tool.
//Script: simcom_http_get_53xx_7500x_7600x.at //Use this script to test HTTP GET AT command with Simcom modules. //This script can be used on following Simcom modules- //SIM53XX, SIM7100X, SIM7500X, SIM7600X //Launch the HTTP Operation AT+CHTTPACT="httpbin.org",80 //Wait for the +CHTTPACT: REQUEST from the module WAIT=1 //Build a HTTP GET request // are script commands for carriage retun and line feed //^z is a script command to send the CTRL+Z character GET http://httpbin.org/get HTTP/1.1Host: httpbin.orgUser-Agent: AT Command TesterContent-Length: 0<cr><lf><cr><lf>^z<cr><lf>
