BG96 downloading file over HTTPS

IoT Modules LPWA Module
1

Hello.

My goal is to see the content (at first if this is easier than downloading and create bin file inside BG96 memory) of my file from this site: https://filebin.net/
This is free file binary hosting site.

I uploaded my binary file. You can find a link with my file here:
https://filebin.net/hngzfyaze95l5ojx

Now I m trying to see the content of this file but have still errors:

RDY
AT+QHTTPCFG="responseheader",1

OK
AT+QHTTPCFG="contenttype",1

OK
AT+QIACT?

OK
AT+QICSGP=1,1,"iot1","","",1

How to open this file over HTTPS protocol?

The url you provided is not really the url for the file. You need a different url.
Try this : https://filebin.net/hngzfyaze95l5ojx/USARTidle.bin

The site and the file are public so I don’t think you require the SSL configuration. I recently downloaded a file from AWS S3 bucket to my modem using this same sequence.

Try this script and let me know :

AT+QHTTPURL=62,80

CONNECT

https://samplebucketlogs.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sample.txt

AT+QHTTPGET=80

[ QHTTPREAD command displays the fetched content , omit this command and move to the next one if you need to store the content as a file]
AT+QHTTPREAD=80

[ Stores the file onto the storage ]
AT+QHTTPREADFILE="ufs:file.txt",80

Did you see the content of the text file, it was "OTA sample for BG96."

Yes I opened your link on my web browser.
There were: “OTA sample for BG96.”

Not from the web browser, it should appear in your AT command logs , as below :

So you see the file content was printed, the problem was not with the SSL configuration but with the filebin URL that you’re using.

Try a different file hosting service or use AWS S3 bucket if you have an AWS account.
