# HTTPS File Download Example/ TLS Client
# HTTPS File Download Example for TLS Client
This application downloads a file from an HTTPS server (developer.mbed.org) and looks for a specific string in that file.

To build and run this example the following requirements are necessary:
To build and run this example you must have:
* A computer with the following software installed:
* [CMake](http://www.cmake.org/download/).
* [yotta](https://github.com/ARMmbed/yotta). Please note that **yotta has its own set of dependencies**, listed in the [installation instructions](http://armmbed.github.io/yotta/#installing-on-windows).
* [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
* [ARM GCC toolchain](https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded).
* A serial terminal emulator (e.g. screen, pySerial, cu).
* An [FRDM-K64F](http://developer.mbed.org/platforms/FRDM-K64F/) development board, or another board that has an ethernet port and is supported by mbed OS (in which case you'll have to substitute frdm-k64f-gcc with the appropriate target in the instructions below).
* An ethernet connection to the internet.
* An ethernet cable.
* [The ARM GCC toolchain](https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded).
* A serial terminal emulator (Like screen, pySerial and cu).

* A micro-USB cable.
* An Ethernet connection to the internet.
* An Ethernet cable.
* If your OS is Windows, please follow the installation instructions [for the serial port driver](https://developer.mbed.org/handbook/Windows-serial-configuration).
## Getting started
1. Connect the FRDM-K64F to the internet using the ethernet cable.

7. Start the serial terminal emulator and connect to the virtual serial port presented by FRDM-K64F. For settings, use 115200 baud, 8N1, no flow control. **Warning:** for this example, the baud rate is not the default 9600, it is 115200.

## Debugging the TLS connection
If you are experiencing problems with this example, you should first rule out network issues by making sure the [simple HTTP file downloader example](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-example-network-private/tree/maste r/test/helloworld-tcpclient) for the TCP module works as expected. If not, please follow the debug instructions for this example.

it probably means you need to update the contents of the `SSL_CA_PEM` constant (this can happen if you modify `HTTPS_SERVER_NAME`, or when `developer.mbed.org` switches to a new CA when updating its certificate). Another reason for this error may be a proxy providing a different certificate. Proxys can be used in some network configurations or for performing man-in-the-middle attacks. If you choose to ignore this error and proceed with the connection anyway, you can change the definition of `UNSAFE` near the top of the file from 0 to 1. **Warning:** this removes all security against a possible attacker, therefore use at your own risk, or for debugging only!
