Arduino UNO WiFi Rev 2 not posting to SSL connections - ssl

Question

I've been having an issue trying to get my UNO WiFi Rev 2 to make a POST request to my https azure server. I've been able to successfully POST to this server using a MKR1000 using the WiFi101 library, so it's weird that I can't get the UNO to POST using the WiFiNINA library. I've tried two approaches to this POST request, if anybody could offer a solution to either of them, I would appreciate it.
My first attempt was based off the WiFININA libary's example for HTTPS POST:
This example creates a client object that connects and transfers
data using always SSL.
It is compatible with the methods normally related to plain
connections, like client.connect(host, port).

int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS;
// if you don't want to use DNS (and reduce your sketch size)
// use the numeric IP instead of the name for the server:

while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
}
// check for the WiFi module:

Serial.println("Communication with WiFi module failed!");
// don't continue
while (true);
}
String fv = WiFi.firmwareVersion();
if (fv < WIFI_FIRMWARE_LATEST_VERSION) {
Serial.println("Please upgrade the firmware");
}
// attempt to connect to WiFi network:
while (status != WL_CONNECTED) {
Serial.print("Attempting to connect to SSID: ");
Serial.println(ssid);
// Connect to WPA/WPA2 network. Change this line if using open or WEP network:
status = WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
// wait 10 seconds for connection:
delay(10000);
}
Serial.println("Connected to WiFi");
printWiFiStatus();
Serial.println("\nStarting connection to server...");
// if you get a connection, report back via serial:
if (client.connect(server, HTTP_PORT)) {
Serial.println("connected to server");
// Make a HTTP request:
// MUST HAVE THESE HEADERS AND IN THIS ORDER!!!
client.println(HTTP_METHOD + " " + PATH_NAME + " HTTP/1.1");
client.println("Host: " + String(HOST_NAME));
client.println("User-Agent: Arduino/1.0");
client.println("Connection: close");

client.print("Content-Length: ");
client.println(queryString.length());
client.println();
// Body AKA the data we are sending to the server
client.print(queryString);
}
}
void loop() {
// if there are incoming bytes available
// from the server, read them and print them:
while (client.available()) {
char c = client.read();
Serial.write(c);
}
// if the server's disconnected, stop the client:
if (!client.connected()) {
Serial.println();
Serial.println("disconnecting from server.");
client.stop();
// do nothing forevermore:

}

// print the SSID of the network you're attached to:
Serial.print("SSID: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.SSID());
// print your board's IP address:
IPAddress ip = WiFi.localIP();
Serial.print("IP Address: ");
Serial.println(ip);
// print the received signal strength:
long rssi = WiFi.RSSI();
Serial.print("signal strength (RSSI):");
Serial.print(rssi);
Serial.println(" dBm");
}
Here is the Serial monitor response whenever I upload that script:
Starting connection to server...
disconnecting from server.
My second approach was using the ArduinoHttpClient with a WiFiSSLClient, but again no luck:
#include <ArduinoHttpClient.h>
#include <WiFiNINA.h>
///////please enter your sensitive data in the Secret tab/arduino_secrets.h
/////// WiFi Settings ///////
char ssid[] = "secret"; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "secret"; // your network password (use for WPA, or use as key for WEP)
char serverAddress[] = "secret"; // server address
int port = 443;
WiFiSSLClient wifi;
HttpClient client = HttpClient(wifi, serverAddress, port);
int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
while ( status != WL_CONNECTED) {
Serial.print("Attempting to connect to Network named: ");
Serial.println(ssid); // print the network name (SSID);
// Connect to WPA/WPA2 network:
status = WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
}
// print the SSID of the network you're attached to:
Serial.print("SSID: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.SSID());
// print your WiFi shield's IP address:
IPAddress ip = WiFi.localIP();
Serial.print("IP Address: ");
Serial.println(ip);
}
void loop() {
Serial.println("making POST request");
String contentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
String postData = "uuid=4444&manufacturerID=5555";
client.post("/wtid/logCovid", contentType, postData);
// read the status code and body of the response
int statusCode = client.responseStatusCode();
String response = client.responseBody();
Serial.print("Status code: ");
Serial.println(statusCode);
Serial.print("Response: ");
Serial.println(response);
Serial.println("Wait five seconds");
delay(5000);
}
Here is the Serial monitor response whenever I upload that script:
making POST request
Status code: -2
Response:
Wait five seconds
I've updated the WiFiNINA firmware and uploaded the SSL certificates via the arduino IDE to the board as well, and I am able to make SSL GET requests to sites like google.com without issue. I do get Serial responses ensuring that I connected to the wifi, just didn't want to put that part of the Serial monitor response.
Thank you to anyone who can help!
