HTTPD Server Persistent Sockets Example

The Example consists of HTTPD server persistent sockets demo. This sort of persistency enables the server to have independent sessions/contexts per client.

How to use example

Hardware Required

• A development board with ESP32/ESP32-S2/ESP32-C3 SoC (e.g., ESP32-DevKitC, ESP-WROVER-KIT, etc.)
• A USB cable for power supply and programming

Configure the project

idf.py menuconfig

• Open the project configuration menu (idf.py menuconfig) to configure Wi-Fi or Ethernet. See "Establishing Wi-Fi or Ethernet Connection" section in examples/protocols/README.md for more details.

Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

idf.py -p PORT flash monitor

(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

Test the example

In order to test the HTTPD server persistent sockets demo :

• run the test script "python scripts/adder.py <IP> <port> <N>"
• the provided test script sends (POST) numbers from 1 to N to the server which has a URI POST handler for adding these numbers into an accumulator that is valid throughout the lifetime of the connection socket, hence persistent
• the script does a GET before closing and displays the final value of the accumulator

See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.
