This is a sysmodule that allows communicating with the Nintendo Switch using http. This sysmodule brings a few advantages that don't currently exist:
- HTTP is a standardized protocol with well defined uses.
- Most languages have at least one http library, so there's not a need to write a wrapper around raw TCP.
- Web browsers can use HTTP, but not raw TCP (without disabling security rules).
The sysmodule is still in early stage. It currently can read values from memory and get a game's title Id.
Installation
Download the zip from the latest releases.
Copy the zip file contents to your switch SD card at /atmosphere/contents.
It's recommended to use something like Kosmos Toolbox/Hekate Toolbox and disable the sysmodule when it's not in use.
