@livius Did a quick try. Got the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/flash/lib/urequests.py", line 141, in urlopen
File "/flash/lib/urequests.py", line 38, in __init__
OSError: -32512
Will look more into it later, but as fare as I can Google it might have something to do with the antenna transmission.
