HTTPD Client:
The DVS-232-2 uses HTTPD client (or HTTP client), typically used to
communicate with Apache HTTP server, to create a virtual connection between
its serial port and a HTTP server, which can be used for posting or fetching
serial data to / from HTTP server. There are two types of HTTP messages:
requests (client to server) and responses (server to client), each with its own
format.
Requests consist of an HTTP method (GET or POST), a path of the HTTP
server’s resource destination, the version of the HTTP protocol, the optional
headers that convey additional information, and a body for the data.
Responses consist of the version of the HTTP protocol they follow, a status
code (indicating if the request was successful or not and why), a status
message, HTTP headers, and a body containing the fetched data.
