KC868_A8M HTTP Get requests example

[MWDH]

Hello Forum colleagues,

I am trying to set the KC868_A8M up, so it performs HTTP Get requests from an API server.
I want to do it via Ethernet (Not Wifi) in a local server.
According to the LAN example code I can get the ETehrnet connection to work, I am also able to ping the device and get a response.

I am struggling with the HTTP GEt requests though:
HTTP Error code: -1

Is there an example code doing the same thing? Or are there any hints on what I am doing wrong?

Code:

#include <ETH.h>
#include <HTTPClient.h>

#define ETH_ADDR        0
#define ETH_POWER_PIN  -1
#define ETH_MDC_PIN    23
#define ETH_MDIO_PIN   18   
#define ETH_TYPE       ETH_PHY_LAN8720
#define ETH_CLK_MODE   ETH_CLOCK_GPIO17_OUT

IPAddress local_ip(192, 168, 49, 98); // Set static IP address for ESP32
IPAddress gateway(192, 168, 49, 1);  // Gateway IP
IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0);  // Subnet mask
IPAddress dns(192, 168, 1, 1);      // DNS server IP

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println();
   
  // Initialize Ethernet interface
  ETH.begin(ETH_ADDR, ETH_POWER_PIN, ETH_MDC_PIN, ETH_MDIO_PIN, ETH_TYPE, ETH_CLK_MODE); //start with ETH
 
  if (ETH.config(local_ip, gateway, subnet, dns, dns) == false) {
    Serial.println("LAN8720 Configuration failed.");
  } else {
    Serial.println("LAN8720 Configuration success.");
  }

  Serial.println("Ethernet Connected");
  Serial.print("IP Address: ");
  Serial.println(ETH.localIP());  // Print ESP32 IP
}

void loop() {
  // Create an HTTPClient object
  HTTPClient http;
 
  // Specify the request URL
  http.begin("http://192.168.99.3:8481/test"); // Replace with your URL
 
  // Make the GET request
  int httpCode = http.GET();
 
  if (httpCode > 0) {  // Check if the request was successful
    String payload = http.getString();  // Get the response payload
    Serial.println("HTTP GET request successful!");
    Serial.println(payload);            // Print the payload
  } else {
    Serial.println("HTTP GET failed!");
    Serial.printf("Error code: %d\n", httpCode);
  }

  http.end();  // Close the connection
 
  delay(5000);  // Wait before making another request
}

I found the solution to the http error: -1 : Firewall was blocking access on the private network. Turning it off solved the issue and http requests come through now.

ok, good.
