user20053: So, I can use the aRest library to program to the ESP8266 standalone, but if I have the ESP8266 connected to the Arduino Uno, can I still use the aRest library? Or will this no longer work?  I am trying to send a request to the Arduino unit that will toggle a pin to turn on/off via the aRest library.  Thanks!
aRest can be found here: https://github.com/marcoschwartz/aREST

user27940: Why don't you just try it? :)
In overview of GitHub repo, first sentence, it says: "A simple library that implements a REST API for Arduino & the ESP8266 WiFi chip." Next paragraph confirms it.
