title: Arduino mega + esp 8266 sending get request
body: <p>i have a php script which help to store data into google firebase.</p>
  
  <p>i am using this url to access my php scipt and input the data:
  arduino.byethost22.com/FirebaseTest.php?slot1_data=empty&amp;slot2_data=occupied</p>
  
  <p>i have tried it and it is able to store slot1_data as empty and slot2_data as occupied. However i need to use arduino to send this url. i am using this code currently</p>
  
  <pre><code>#include "SoftwareSerial.h"
  #define DEBUG false  // turn debug message on or off in serial
  String server = "arduino.byethost22.com";
  String uri = "/FirebaseTest.php?slot1_data=empty&amp;slot2_data=occupied";
  
  void setup() {
  
    Serial3.begin(115200); //serial3 for esp8266
    Serial.begin(115200);
    sendData("AT+RST\r\n",2000,DEBUG); // reset module
    sendData("AT+CWMODE=3\r\n",1000,DEBUG); // configure as access point
    //sendData("AT+CWJAP=\"WifiName\",\"Password\"\r\n",3000,DEBUG);
    //delay(20000);
    sendData("AT+CIFSR\r\n",1000,DEBUG); // get ip address
    sendData("AT+CIPMUX=0\r\n",1000,DEBUG); // configure for single connections
  
  }
  
  void loop() {
  
  
  Serial3.println("AT+CIPSTART=\"TCP\",\"" + server + "\",80");//start a TCP connection.
  if( Serial3.find("OK")) {
  Serial.println("TCP connection ready");
  } 
  delay(1000);
  String getRequest = "GET " + uri + " HTTP/1.1\r\n" +
  "Host: " + server + "\r\n\r\n";
  
  String sendCmd = "AT+CIPSEND=";//determine the number of caracters to be sent.
  Serial3.print(sendCmd);
  Serial3.println(getRequest.length() );
  delay(500);
  if(Serial3.find("&gt;")) { 
    Serial.println("Sending..");
  }
  Serial3.print(getRequest);
  if( Serial3.find("SEND OK")) { 
    Serial.println("Packet sent");
  }
  while (Serial3.available()) {
  String tmpResp = Serial3.readString();
  Serial.println(tmpResp);
  }
  
  delay(20000);
  }
  
  
  
  
  
  String sendData(String command, const int timeout, boolean debug)
  {
  String response = "";
  
  Serial3.print(command); // send the read character to the esp8266
  
  long int time = millis();
  
  while( (time+timeout) &gt; millis())
  {
  while(Serial3.available())
  {
  
  // The esp has data so display its output to the serial window
  char c = Serial3.read(); // read the next character.
  response+=c;
  }
  }
  
  //if(debug)
  //{
  Serial.print(response);
  //}
  
  return response;
  }

  <p>it seems that it have problem sending the get request to the php script.</p>
  
  <p>i am getting packet sent in the serial monitor but nothing changed in the firebase data</p>
  
  <p>i am also getting </p>
