WiFi shield issue: client.connect(server, 80)

[agdl]

From @piyali1988 on January 3, 2015 0:6

client.connect(server, 80); is not working. Here is the code:

include <SPI.h>

include <WiFi.h>

include <WiFiClient.h>

include <WiFiServer.h>

undef int

undef abs

undef double

undef float

undef round

int SensorIn1 = 1;
int led_pin = 13;

char devid[] = "v90EC98310145483";

int del=100; // Amount of seconds delay between posting to google docs.

char postmsg[100];
int k=0;
int temp_av = 0;
char server[] = "api.pushingbox.com";
char ssid[] = "**_";
char pass[] = "_";
WiFiClient client;

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
delay(1000);
Serial.println("connecting...");
}

void loop(){

int val;
val = analogRead(SensorIn1);
Serial.println(val);

// Post to Google Form.............................................
if (client.connect(server, 80))
{
k=0;
Serial.println("connected");
sprintf(postmsg,"GET /pushingbox?devid=%c&status=%d HTTP/1.1",devid,val);
client.println(postmsg);
client.println("Host: api.pushingbox.com");
client.println("Connection: close");
client.println();

Serial.println(postmsg);
Serial.println("Host: api.pushingbox.com");
Serial.println("Connection: close");
Serial.println();

 delay(1000);
 client.stop();

}
delay(1000);

if (!client.connected())
{
Serial.println();
Serial.println("disconnecting.");
client.stop();
k==1;
return;
}
}

The output I receive is
connecting....
456
disconnecting.
563
disconnecting.
and so on..
I have tried using different servers and accordingly selected the port numbers (eg 80, 443 etc) but the it never connects to the server. Kindly help.
