[Lab] Arduino Eithernet shield help

[Andrew O'Malley]

Will,

Yeah, that was the problem, that host line in the get request.

First time I've had to explicitly form a GET request, having
previously used libraries where it was hidden away in a function.

Thanks again, you helped me finish my piece for this show:

I made a light sculpture that takes an analysis of the Parliament Hill
cam and displays the spectrum of the sky.

Cheers,
ao.
