Wifly Shield Not Connecting

Question

I recently asked a question about the juniper WiFi shield, and am now working with wifly from spark fun. I've been using an updated version of their experimental library, and have been attempting to set up a webserver. Unfortunately, when I attempt to connect through a web browser, I get an error saying that the page sent no data. Here's my code:

#include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFly.h>

WiFlyServer s(80);
boolean current_line_is_blank=true;
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  WiFly.begin();
  if(!WiFly.join(placeholderssid, placeholderpass,WPA_MODE)) {
    Serial.println("Connection Failed.");
  } else {
    Serial.println("Connection Succesful!");
    Serial.println(WiFly.ip());
    Serial.println("Receving Client Input...");
    s.begin();

  }
}
void loop() { 
   WiFlyClient c = s.available();
   if(c) {
   Serial.println("Server Ready.");
   current_line_is_blank=true;
   while(c.connected()) {
     Serial.println("Client Connected.");
     if(c.available()) {
       Serial.println("Client Available for data.");
       char tmp = c.read();
       Serial.println(tmp);
       if(tmp == '\n' && current_line_is_blank) {
         Serial.println("Sent OK Response.");
         c.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
         c.println("Content-Type: text/html");
         c.println();
         c.print("WiFly Webserver Running!");
         c.println("<br />");
         break;
       }
      if (tmp == '\n') {
          // we're starting a new line
          current_line_is_blank = true;
        } else if (tmp != '\r') {
          // we've gotten a character on the current line
          current_line_is_blank = false;
        }
       }
   }
   }
    delay(2000);
    c.stop();
}

I am using Arduino Uno, and the serial monitor looks like this:

Connection Succesful!
10.100.1.173
Receving Client Input...

Is there anything obviously wrong with my code?

EDIT: I now have a new shield, but I'm still working with the same problem. Is it a malfunction in the hardware? I just can't figure this out!

Answer 1

I've never programmed an Arduino or used this module, but from a quick look at the code and its output, it looks like only setup() is getting run, while loop() is the source of the problem (sort of expected). Try adding a println statement before checking for c to see if the loop gets run at all.

...
void loop() { 
  WiFlyClient c = s.available();
  Serial.println("Looping...");
  if(c) {
    Serial.println("Server Ready.");
    ...

Assuming the above checks out, my hunch is that the problem is in the first line of the loop:

...
WiFlyClient c = s.available();
...

Why are you initializing the client, c, with the server's availability? This seems to imply that the if statement is essentially testing for the server's availability, instead of the client's availability. What's more, you then also run c.connected(), c.available(), and c.println(), which is somewhat at odds with c's initialization.

Try checking what you need to initialize c with and then probably switch the if statement as follows:

...
if(c.available()) {
...

Just my 2c.
