WiFi101 : Client class
ConnectSSL()
Description
Connect to the IP address and port specified in the constructor using the SSL protocol. The method connectSSL is required when the server provides only HTTPS connections. Before using this metod, it is required to load the SSL certificate used by the server into the Arduino WiFi Shield 101. The shield comes already loaded with certificates and it should be ready to use. To change or upload new SSL certificates you should follow the procedures that will be made available. connectSSL() also supports DNS lookups when using a domain name (ex:google.com).
Syntax
client.connectSSL(ip, port) client.connectSSL(URL, port)
Parameters
ip: the IP address that the client will connect to (array of 4 bytes)
URL: the domain name the client will connect to (string, ex.:"arduino.cc")
port: the port that the client will connect to (int)
Returns
Returns true if the connection succeeds, false if not.
Example
Web client
This sketch connects to a website through a SSL connection
using a WiFi shield.
This example is written for a network using WPA encryption. For
WEP or WPA, change the Wifi.begin() call accordingly.
