Hi!
I am having an issue connecting to a certain API using HTTPS. When setting up the connection to the server (using client.connect(server, 443)) it seems stuck for multiple minutes until eventually it returns a “Connection failed!” message.
I have no issues connecting to the WiFi and when I use the demo code to connect to example.com through HTTPS it works.
So I figured it there must be something going wrong for this specific URL but I cannot figure out what exactly.
I am running this simple bit of code based on the HTTPS examples:
#include <rpcWiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClientSecure.h>
const char* ssid = "xxx"; // your network SSID
const char* password = "yyy"; // your network password
const char* server = "api.energyzero.nl"; // Server URL
const char* test_root_ca = \

Serial.print("Attempting to connect to SSID: ");

Serial.println(ssid);
client.setCACert(test_root_ca);
Serial.println("\nStarting connection to server...");
if (!client.connect(server, 443)) {
Serial.println("Connection failed!");
} else {
Serial.println("Connected to server!");
}
}
void loop() {
// do nothing
}
Also I am using the latest firmware and libraries as suggested by the network overview article.
Hoping anyone has a clue what is going wrong here.
Thanks!
