Supported Targets	ESP32	ESP32-S2	ESP32-S3	ESP32-C3

HTTPS Request Example

Uses APIs from esp-tls component to make a very simple HTTPS request over a secure connection, including verifying the server TLS certificate.

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

Session Tickets

Session Tickets, specified in RFC 5077 are a mechanism to distribute encrypted session-state information to the client in the form of a ticket and a mechanism to present the ticket back to the server. The ticket is created by a TLS server and sent to a TLS client. The TLS client presents the ticket to the TLS server to resume a session. In TLS 1.2, this speeds up handshakes from two to one round-trip.

In ESP-IDF, this feature is supported (for both server and client) when mbedTLS is used as the SSL library.

How to use example

Before project configuration and build, be sure to set the correct chip target using idf.py set-target <chip_name>.

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.

Configuring Client Session Tickets

Note: This example has client session tickets enabled by default.

• Open the project configuration menu (idf.py menuconfig)
• In the Component Config -> ESP-TLS submenu, select the Enable client session tickets option.

Ensure that the server has the session tickets feature enabled.

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.
