Captive portal bypass handlers

to avoid a redirect to index.html and so a refresh of the page, some classic handler have been added so they all go to / handler actually

  • /generate_204
  • /gconnectivitycheck.gstatic.com
  • /fwlink/

Web Socket

Only for WebUI not for bridge data

use subprotocol arduino and web port +1 (e.g: 80+1=>81)

text mode

Reserved messages between webui / ESP Format: <label>:<message>

  • from ESP to WebUI

    • CURRENT_ID:<id> Sent when client is connecting, it is the last ID used and become the active ID

    • ACTIVE_ID:<id> Broadcast current active ID, when new client is connecting, client without this is should close, ESP WS Server close all open WS connections but this one also

    • ERROR:<code>:<message> If an error raise when doing upload, it informs client it must stop uploading because sometimes the http answer is not possible, or cannot cancel the upload, this is a workaround as there is no API in current webserver to cancel active upload

    • DHT: <value>C The DHT sensor connected to ESP like DHT22

binary mode
