Getting no such directory file error when compiling I recently got my wifi module and connected it to my Uno. I am now trying to send a http request. I have the code that comes with the esp8266wifi library in which it demonstrates and gives an example on how to send a http request. This is the code:

CODE.

I am getting the following error

Obviously it seems to be an file path error but I'm not sure why. I've imported the library through the Arduino IDE.. But maybe the way I aquired the library was wrong? What I did was download the esp8266wifi folder (here) and zipped the file and imported it.. is that okay to do?
The ESP8266WiFi library is for programming the ESP8266 directly. You are trying to compile source code for the ESP8266 for the Arduino UNO, that obviously won't work.
