Parallax WX ESP8266 WiFi Module - SIP

Hi
I bought the WIFI module and would like to use it with my iphone and a TCP apps which mean IP address and a port number.
For transparent mode, you are talking about port 23 but I don't find any port number for network command?
Is it the same one?
Has anyone done a TCP apps to work with the wifi module?

Thanks

Chris

    Network commands use the standard HTTP port 80.

    Strange, I get a lost connection code error when I use port 80 which I don't with port 23.
    It's not very clear for me how I should send the command, just :
    "GET /wx/module-name"
    or with a cr at the end?

    thanks

    It needs to be an HTTP request with a full HTTP header.

    I don't want to use HTTP but TCP protocol and therefore maybe port 80 is not the right port to use?

    Hi,

    Transparent mode and Port 23 are good enough for my use, I will stick with it.

    Thanks for your help David.
