nailbuster / mywebserver Goto Github PK

I like the looks of the library and got it working - though I can't get 'flashupdate' OTA to work. It is in admin, no password mode, but just prints 'flashupdate' and never presents the 'browse' that works on the FTP page. FTP works to read/write/delete - great!

The big problem was the '==' stopping assignment, see below.

It also doesn't like this line as a valid NULL compare:
if (root["ssid"].asString() != "") { //verify good json info

I got into 'wifisetup' and that worked, then it showed correct time. Does your IDE ever hold open files in the TIME library so that it can't recompile?
"GetFileAttributesEx i:\tcode\libraries\Time\DateStrings.cpp i:\tcode\libraries\Time\Time.h: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."

I made these edits to my copy to get it to compile past errors and two warnings:

Just tested this to work on the indicated IDE 1.6.8 with Board Mgr updated to 2.1!

I had an issue with TIME library during IDE compile - I worked with maintainer Paul@PJRC and there is a fix for that on GitHub.

I'm liking what you've done here.

Not sure how to ask a series of questions - so I'll attempt the obvious:

I want to add MQTT into this sample on the Arduino myWebServer - not NodeMCU with the food cooker. Is there a simple path for that? I'm looking to have multiple ESP's find each other through a local server (windows). I see the /cloudgen.html 'MQTT Configure' - is that a supported first step?

Is there a way to use the OTA identification the way the Arduino IDE does to PING other online ESP units to find their IP's? Or is there another scheme for this I should know about?

I see the GZip encoded files - it seems that relies on the calling browser to decode and the decoder is not part of myWebServer? How did you get the .GZ compressed bytes to include in the htmlEmbed.h file?

Attempting to understand the "integrated HTML file browser.
Where did it come from, and is there any where I can get info about reusing it.

Change #include arduino.h to Arduino.h to support linux

Hello there,

I installed myWebServer by mistake without understanding what it is. I have absolutely no use for it, but now I cannot uninstall it. It does not appear in Control Panel's Programs and Features's Uninstall Program list and I can't find it under the registry. Please help!

Is there a way to change the server port without modifying the library?

I just powered up an ESP8266 unit connected to a Teensy and both are programmable with the IDE 1.6.12 and compile of nailbuster/myWebServer with ESP updated to release 2.3 update from 'Boards Manager' worked for OTA updates (until I forgot to double check Tools and my 3MB SPIFFS was 'defaulted' to 64K with 512KB for code) - so not enough room for 311KB sketch, and I lost my data.

Not tested extensively beyond a few OTA's before the IDE broke me - I now need to get back to a Serial upload through Teensy to get OTA back online.

Some notes I made for this update here as I work with a new Teensy and PCB with an ESP8266 mounted - with options for Teensy to have display and added external Flash and RAM:
https://github.com/FrankBoesing/FlexiBoard/blob/master/extras/ESP8266/README2.ArduinoESP.md

I know you have to authenticate before you have access, but if a browser was left open someone could just browse the .json files in plain text. Any possibility of adding functionality to encrypt "password" fields before they are saved in the .json file?

Loving your project so far BTW!

I had my phone (w/serial terminal) and Teensy setup in my microwave and the ESP couldn't find my specified AP. After 20 seconds it defaulted to Soft AP mode.

Is there a way this .begin() behavior could be altered - perhaps with .begin() parameter(s) so it could just return on WiFi failure and allow me to try again later on the preferred AP and not go into the Soft AP mode? (and a non-broadcasting AP)

Ideally I might like to use this at two+ places where the AP is known but different - or in between where I don't need to have WiFi access until one is in range?

I haven't tested what happens when it starts with the preferred AP and then is it lost. Nor have I looked at the code to see if there was an existing way around - but that would be hacking your library work without a defined interface. Maybe it is defined and I just recognize I don't like Soft AP and periodically check for my preferred AP? But lesser timeout would need to be programmed as well as a awy to shutdown Soft AP and restart finding a known AP.

I'm not seeing my local time reflect the one hour clock change for savings time in the 'Network Information' server info.html?

Under "Network Configuration" / NTP configure I have indicated Yes to 'Daylight Savings'.
