/*
Custom request header example for the ArduinoHttpClient
library. This example sends a GET request with a custom header every 5 seconds.

Choose a reason for hiding this comment

The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.

@agdl this example also does a POST with custom header.

So I suggest ether:

  1. Update this comment

or

  1. Remove the POST code

note: WiFi SSID and password are stored in config.h file.
If it is not present, add a new tab, call it "config.h"
and add the following variables:
char ssid[] = "ssid"; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "password"; // your network password

based on SimpleGet example by Tom Igoe
header modifications by Todd Treece

this example is in the public domain
