Embedded Web Client

I have a stand alone serial device that is not network enabled. I want to use this device network enabled and there are quite a few boards in the market. One of them is the popular CoBox Micro from Lantronix. Most of these products have a built-in web server so that users and can browse to it and view the status of my device. But my question is, instead of making my device a web server, I want it to periodically make a HTTP Get request to my web server (located in my data center) so that status data can be updated in my database in the web server.

Is there such a board in the market?

Thank you very much JCL

Since all you have to do is open a port 80 TCP connection to your server and sending a string of data, then closing the connection, almost every embedded board that comes with a developement envireonement and a TCP stack will do. Rabbitsemiconductor makes cores that can do this easily and their SDKs come wiht all you need, but there are tons of others around too.

Chooseing a micro (or using the one you may already use), connect a lan controller to it and port one of those free small TCP-IP stacks to it seems feasable also (i.e. lwIP etc.)

Markus, thank you very much. That is what I want.

RabbitCore uses C for development. Do you know any product that are using Java or Visual Basic?

Dallas DS80C400 should IMHO fit your bill quite nicely then.
