  WiFi Web Server LED Blink

 A simple web server that lets you blink an LED via the web.
 This sketch will print the IP address of your WiFi (once connected)
 to the Serial monitor. From there, you can open that address in a web browser
 to turn on and off the LED on pin 9.

 If the IP address of your WiFi is yourAddress:
 http://yourAddress/H turns the LED on
 http://yourAddress/L turns it off

 This example is written for a network using WPA encryption. For
 WEP or WPA, change the Wifi.begin() call accordingly.

 Circuit:
 * CC3200 WiFi LaunchPad or CC3100 WiFi BoosterPack
   with TM4C or MSP430 LaunchPad
